Title: Security researcher successfully hacks and jailbreaks an Apple AirTag
Post by: Redaktion on May 12, 2021, 05:41:35
A German security researcher who goes by the alias "stacksmashing" posted a YouTube video detailing how he was able to dump the firmware of an Apple AirTag. Furthermore, he was able to inject a custom firmware that changed the AirTag's "Lost Mode" function. This could open the door to more malicious jailbreaks of AirTags in the future.
