Imagine someone could turn your laptop, smartphone, or even your gaming console into a tracking device without your knowledge. Our research team discovered a way this can happen through Apple's Find My network - the same system that helps people find their lost iPhones and AirTags. The Find My network uses over a billion Apple devices worldwide. When an AirTag is lost, it sends out Bluetooth signals that nearby iPhones pick up. These iPhones then secretly report the AirTag's location to Apple's cloud, allowing the owner to see where their lost item is. We found a security problem that lets hackers use this system to track almost any device with Bluetooth capabilities - not just Apple products. We call this attack "nRootTag."
