【情报内容】
When Apple debuted its new AirTag tracker earlier this year, part of our
review focused on the privacy implications of the device. We called the
device "a rare privacy misstep from Apple." This week, Canadian police
announced that car thieves have been using AirTags to track vehicles they
want to steal.
York Regional Police (which serves an area north of Toronto) revealed that it
has investigated five incidents in the past three months in which thieves
have hidden AirTags on vehicles parked in public. Later, the thieves tracked
down their targets to steal the cars at their leisure.
Other Bluetooth-based trackers have been available for some time now, but the
ubiquity of Apple devices (which communicate with AirTags via Apple's Find My
app) means it's generally faster and more accurate to track something
remotely via an AirTag than a rival device like a Tile. And while they
undoubtedly make it easier for users to recover lost stuff, the tags are
being exploited by criminals.
Apple did build some anti-stalking functions into AirTags—if your Apple
device detects that you're being followed by an unfamiliar device, it will
alert you, as long as you're running iOS 14.5 or newer.
摘要翻译:
加拿大警方日前宣布说
过去三个月已经发现至少五起汽车窃案
是窃贼利用Airtag去定位自己之后打算偷的高级车
因此警方警告这类搜寻失物用的定位装置已经被利用于犯罪上了
另外苹果也说在iOS14.5之后的版本
已经增加了若被不明装置跟踪就会发出警告的功能
心得:
其实不是很意外啦
倒是那个防跟踪机制我不是很懂
意思是说“如果手机侦测到附近有不明AirTag一直在身边就会警告”吗?
