Smartphone manufacturer Apple makes many products along with iPhones. Earlier this year, Apple launched a brand new device, an AirTag. AirTag is a tracking device with the help of which people can work to find lost items, such as bags, keys, etc.
But where the company made this device for the good of the people, there are some people who started taking wrong advantage of this device. There have been many reports in which it has been clarified that many people are stealing people’s vehicles with the help of this AirTag. Let’s know how..
Vehicles are being stolen from AirTag
This matter has come to the fore from Canada. Ontario’s York Regional Police say there are many people who are stealing vehicles with the help of Apple’s tracking device, AirTag. In the last few months, about five to six such cases have come to the fore in which people’s vehicles have been stolen from their homes with the help of AirTag.
How does theft happen?
According to York Police, thieves put this AirTag on vehicles and then track where the owner of the vehicle lives. In this way it becomes easy for them to go home and steal the car. This is what happened in the cases registered in the previous months. Thieves put AirTag on high-end vehicles in parking lots or malls and then track the vehicles and steal them by seeing the time.
do this to avoid
Apple did not tell at the time of launch that if a person sees someone else’s AirTag on any of its items, then how can it be disabled. Let us tell you that if you want to find out if someone else’s AirTag is tracking you, then it can be done from your iOS device. But for this you need to have an Apple device.
