Security researchers, YouTubers, and DIY enthusiasts seem to be having a great time with Apple AirTag. Recently a YouTuber showed how AirTag can be turned into a thin wallet that fits into your pocket. Meanwhile, a security researcher hacked AirTag and successfully modified its NFC URL.

The security start by clarifying that this is not malware or an exploit. All they have done is taken advantage of the Find My network to send messages across devices. In other words, the Find My Network can be used to send short encoded messages between devices.
