Launched by Apple almost a year ago Weather Labels It was created to make life easier for Apple users: finding a lost wallet, cell phone and other types of items. On the contrary, gadget was used to stalk and harass women. Most of the followers are male and have some degree of affinity with the victims.
From a review motherboardgives clamp, the site provided access to records from eight US police departments. In a total of 150 cases related to AirTag, 50 direct female victims of persecution.
The women were able to understand that they were in danger only because they received messages on their smartphones that they were being followed by an AirTag that did not belong to them. Half of the victims claimed that their former acquaintances deliberately used the device to perform the scan.
This way of working from followers
Not surprisingly, half of the women determined that their followers were actually men who were or have been in their lives, such as ex-boyfriends, husbands, or bosses. In one particular case, the stalker threatened one of the victims and said he would “make your life hell”.
Mostly, AirTags found hidden in carand the women only realized they were being followed when the device started beeping or when they found their former partner suspiciously on the street. Finding the same person over and over again, no matter where they are, would be too much of a coincidence.
However, the bad guys weren’t just ex-boyfriends or ex-wives. Men who were active in the victim’s daily life, such as a husband, used the device to know where his wife was. The problem is, in addition to the persecution, women begin to be threatened with verbal abuse and even physical violence.
Including multiple cases women who are afraid of being attacked on the street or at home, when they confront their partners about the situation. The report revealed that only one of the 150 cases involved an ex-girlfriend who used AirTag to track her ex-partner.
During the launch of AirTags, Kaiann Drace, Apple’s vice president of marketing, not created for people watching, children or pets. The gadget has an anti-spying system to notify the user that something might be wrong. Despite this, these protections do not seem secure enough to keep their users, and especially female viewers, safe.
