Security expert hijacks Apple's Find My network to share data with a Linux device
A security researcher registered a Linux machine as a trusted Apple device, gaining access to Find My location-sharing data normally restricted to Apple hardware. The technique required reverse-engineering Apple's private protocols, obtaining identity certificates, and registering the machine as a legitimate node — accomplished in under a week without jailbreaking or leaked keys. Critically, it still requires a contact's prior consent to share location and cannot silently track strangers. Apple has not responded to inquiries.
