Have you or anyone you know been a victim of malicious AirTag use?

I live in an area with a really high number of bicycle thefts, so police said it’s not safe to ever leave a bike locked up outside. After iOS 15.4 is released (with updated anti-stalking), could you duct-tape an AirTag to a bike and see if it helps? Same for car, dog & cat. I’m particularly interested in cat use for a friend. Thanks! Note: We even had a dog theft here in broad daylight. (not a joke)

What sucks is if your tracking your own vehicle to basically know where it is if it's stolen, then the person who stole your car can find the tag in the car they just stole, or luggage, which kind of defeats the purpose of the tag.

It defeats the purpose 99% of us are buying AirTags. The stated purpose is to find your misplaced items like keys. It feels like Apple is ignoring the obvious reason we all wanted a tracker in favor of avoiding possibility of liability.

I would argue the delay in AirTags alerting whoever is with the tags would give the original owner time to find it, since they should already be able to track from their phone from the moment they lost it.

Extremely informative, I've never considered how quickly these useful devices could become dangerous. I think these devices are absolutely amazing but definitely would love to see more updates to ensure safety. Its a tricky subject as you often wouldn't want an alert to go out to someone who may have stolen an item from you without knowing that you had an air tag on the item (for example: my pricy little e- bike). Keep posting Dalvin, love watching you!

👍🏼 Hadn't heard about the (manual) Android Air Tag tracker-finder app until this, so thanks! 😎✌🏼

This was so informative! Love this!

this is so well done!

its so scary.why dont it notifies only after 2 hours. also the speaker on the airtag can be taken out.

My mind is BLOWN.

Imagine: you don’t own an AirTag. It’s the middle of the night, you’re at home alone, in your dark room. Suddenly you hear the beeping of an AirTag coming from the darkness of your house.

Thanks for sharing and keeping us informed! #MTown #iteachpsych

Thanks for not being biased. Nice video.

Vamos con todo Dru!! nos vamos todos con el movimiento!

Ps: there are already tags manipulated without making a beep. Thanks Apple for nothing...

Yeah, it's trivial to just rip out the voice coil, permanent magnet, or both. You can even flash custom firmware onto a compromised AirTag that randomizes the device ID often, just like when it's paired with the owner's device. The mark will never hear the chime. And the AirTag can even be disassembled to lie half as thick so that it fits like a business card and still work normally. You can't have privacy without first having security and Apple really screwed that up with their design.

Thanks for sharing how unpredictable this technology is.

Great video, Dalvin! I was always worried about AirTag security. (P.S. I stalk my pug with my AirTags!) 😃 Thanks for the info!

This really puts into perspective how unsafe/safe technology can make us - I may not be tech savvy but I like to be made aware of tech that could be used maliciously. Great video!

The only use for air tags is putting it in you car or bad In case it’s stolen what’s the point if it lets the other person know

What if it’s tracking a thief who stole my goods. Apple is just gonna advise them my stuff is tracked? So basically Apple is on the side of thieves not the person who bought the tag to protect their stuff?

If you do not own a cell phone, how would you get a notification?

Crazy people out there

What about removing a rogue air-tag from your car, attaching it to a cross-country truck, or into a random garbage bin?

when you get an airtag notification, does that mean someone is looking at your location right away

Apple needs to make so police can disable air tags since some can be very difficult to locate.

Honestly I’m not worried. My iPhone notifies me within hours when my friends AirTag is near

It takes over 3 days

tracking a friend/work colleague would be easy as it would constantly pair.

What up with this world not going on in my life

Oh wow! See, all of this new technology is making it much easier for creeps to creep lol. Thankfully apple is working on making their alert notifications quicker to react.

I think Apple made a fair tradeoff here. What a lot of media outlets have NOT talked about is that the vast majority of the time, these devices ARE useful and helpful to even victims of crime. It's much more likely for someone to have an AirTag in a stolen bag, car, bike, etc than it is for a (completely stupid) criminal to have an AirTag linked to their Apple account which has personally identifiable info that will ultimately lead to their arrest. An adversary who is capable of placing a tracing device and then performing a kidnapping or assassination in just an 8-12 hour window is going to be able to do this with or without an AirTag lol. The more likely scenario is that AirTags are helpful to their owners. If Apple shorterns this window of time, then those who have stolen items will be immediately alerted that there is an AirTag and they will find and dump it. With this nice window of time, it allows an AirTag to be successfully used to recover stolen items.

A blackmailing device that puts you at risk until to buy an iPhone.

I’m sorry but I can’t get past your voice, has it always been like that sir?

If I steal something with a hidden AirTag will my iPhone notify me that an AirTag is close by so I can find it and ditch it?

knifes are being used to kill we should do something about it. saves me a lot of money on monthly subscriptions just to watch my vehicles and machines.

To really get somewhere on this issue, you need to simultaneously consider both the intended use and the nefarious use of this tech. You don't want to put a signaling beacon on your misplaced keys or other precious property. I am also curious why an airtag would be used to stalk someone -there are loads of no-name Android network devices that DON'T have so many features against misuse. My last issue is why do you make this clickbait video to explore the false premise that airtags are a threat to public safety? There is a serious issue here, but you need to consider tags that are better suited to nefarious use!

these bad reviews are all paid by companies who compete with gps trackers. no more monthly subscription needed.

Air tags are expensive. Invest in Bitcoin to help afford them
