In recent years, various brands have been producing tracking devices, which are a very functional tool to prevent the loss of goods. AirTag, Apple’s coin-sized tracker, also works with the Find app on Apple devices by attaching to items you don’t want to lose.
However, as all technological tools are useful, they can sometimes become dangerous depending on how they are used. A woman living in Arkansas, USA, experienced an event that could be an example of the abuse of technological tools. The young woman came across an AirTag secretly placed in her car.

The covert deployment of tracking devices can be a gruesome example of how high technology is used for surveillance and harassment. A young woman living in America first encountered a notification on her iPhone about the connection of the tracker. Shocked to see such a notification as it doesn’t have an AirTag. Fearfully trying to find the device, the woman saw the AirTag taped to the trunk of her car. The woman, who applied to the police with the device, filed a lawsuit to investigate those responsible for the incident, but there has been no development in the case yet.
Tracking devices released by various brands in recent years have become an easily accessible tool that malicious people can abuse by placing such tools in bags, wallets or cars. Security measures are taken with the updates that come to these devices from time to time, but it seems that it is not possible to provide complete security. Being followed and being spied on, regardless of gender or location, is a concern in any case, so it is useful to be careful with such devices.
