      Any platform has vulnerability to exploit to some degree. But this article is about piggybacking on the Find My network to transmit data without actually compromising the network. It’s a clever technique, and worth reading more than the headline.

        It’s very interesting but the article is a rehash of some 2-year-old work by others, and doesn’t really update anything, apart from saying that “apparently, Apple addressed this problem.” with no further clarification. Pretty low effort tbh.

      It’s not malware. They are talking abot physical keyloagger inserted into your keyboard. Real life hack possibility level: 0

      It’s not apple being hacked here. The network is just being abused to carry data out. It requires a compromised hardware device e.g. a hacked keyboard. You don’t even need to be using an apple device, it just piggybacks off of any nearby iPhones.
