The Find My network can be used to send arbitrary messages over BLE network.
Apple may not be able to prevent this exploit completely, the researcher said.
The Find My app on your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Mac is a pretty useful app as it lets you locate your gadgets, now including the AirTags. It uses Apple's Find My network to find devices that are signed in with a single account. According to Apple, the Find My network is extremely secure and uses end-to-end encryption for communication with various Apple devices. However, that claim may no longer be entirely true. A security researcher has claimed to have found an exploit in Find My network that can let a hacker send arbitrary messages and other data to connected devices.
