AirTag stalking is a growing problem, but advanced gadgets may offer a solution.
Why Everyone Is BREAKING OPEN APPLE AIRTAGS
A company that makes wireless scanning devices for law enforcement has announced a consumer version called Bluesleuth-Lite that can find AirTags and other tracking devices. Apple’s gadgets have anti-stalking features, but can take hours to go off, while Bluesleuth-Lite is said to find tags almost instantly.
“While Apple’s AirTags have proven to be a useful tool in finding lost items, bad guys have also used them to track ex-wives, boyfriends, police cars and more,” Chris Hauk, a consumer privacy expert at Pixel Privacy, told Lifewire in an email interview. “At least one of these tracking incidents resulted in a murder.”
The maker of the Bluesleuth-Lite is seeking crowdfunding on Kickstarter, having raised more than $38,000. The company claims the pocket-sized device can quickly find any Bluetooth tracker.
