Apple AirTag is placed in women’s bags and cars by malicious people!
According to a news that emerged today, the results of the analysis, which emerged after examining more than 150 police reports in the past 8 months, were shared. It is stated that almost half of these are cases of theft and robbery, and the other half are harassment cases involving tracking women using the Apple AirTag.
According to the post, 50 of the women followed are aware of the situation as anti-tracking notifications are sent to them by their iPhones. In other cases, they detect the situation by finding AirTags hidden in their vehicles or by hearing the device beeping.
These people who stalk women without permission are often said to be former co-workers-partners, ex-lovers and ex-wives. Of course, they realize this situation because they frequently come across these people in different environments.
Of course, as in this case, we know that similar tracking has been made with various hidden GPS tools for a very long time, even since the 80s. Especially after the 2000s, the use of these devices has become quite common as the sizes of these devices have shrunk to the size of a USB memory stick.

However, as with every technological device, the fact that they can be used for malicious purposes does not surprise anyone.
