A new vulnerability called nRootTag allows attackers to turn any device into an Apple AirTag-like tracker, enabling them to track your location remotely. Over 1.5 billion iPhones could potentially be used as free tracking agents. This attack method is efficient and cost-effective, with a success rate of over 90% within minutes for only a few dollars. The attack works on various systems like Linux, Windows, and Android, posing a significant threat to user privacy and safety. While Apple has released patches to fix the vulnerability, unpatched iPhones or Apple Watches in the vicinity can still make the attack effective.
