Chinese state-sponsored researchers claim to have found a way to extract sensitive information from people using Apple’s AirDrop feature.
A Bloomberg report covered how China's Beijing Wangshendongjian Judicial Appraisal Institute reportedly found a way to read phone numbers, email addresses, and device names of AirDrop users, via device logs.
The researchers began their work investigation after someone allegedly used AirDrop to share “inappropriate” comments in the Beijing subway, but concerns around privacy have already been raised.
