However, sometimes devices can send more data than users expect. Security researchers have found that hackers can get a user’s phone number and email address using AirDrop. Approximately 1.5 billion devices are affected by this vulnerability. Earlier this week, researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt posted a blog post about their AirDrop manipulation. The vulnerability is due to the fact that AirDrop uses a mutual authentication mechanism to compare the user’s phone number and email with the entries in the address book of the device with which it exchange data. The researchers found that attackers can obtain this data by having a Wi-Fi-enabled device and being close to the target, which initiates the detection process by opening a file sharing panel on an iOS or macOS device.

Researchers say changing simple iPhone setting fixes long-standing privacy bug Mike Snider, USA TODAY Replay Video UP NEXT The AirDrop feature on iPhones and MacBook computers has a vulnerability that could give scammers access to your email and phone number, a team of researchers say.
