Thanks for the links. The Economist is a paywall, but the wiki's always a good read.
This article from Columbia is a good read as well (and no paywall). It brings up a good point that the volumes are down to "around a third of their pre-war levels." Which makes more sense than how the OP was presenting things. No way you'll simply halt that kind of economic relationship so quickly. But they go on to say that transit flows are still very much at risk.
I guess I'm just trying to point out that Ukraine is very much at war, but both belligerents depend on each other economically, which certainly defies expectations, as they say.
The potential to abuse Find My to transmit arbitrary data besides just device location was first discovered by Positive Security researchers Fabian Bräunlein and his team over two years ago, but apparently, Apple addressed this problem.
Not with Apple's network anymore apparently. But if you read the original PoC from 2021 they said Amazon's Echo devices have the same potential.
Ultimately, even the researchers have indicated the slow and unreliable nature of the attack (which now no longer works).
Small complication: public key validity. Having implemented both the sending and receiving side, I performed a first test by broadcasting and trying to receive a 32 bit value. After a few minutes, I could retrieve 23 out of the 32 bits, each one being unambiguous and with ~100 location reports, but no reports for the remaining 9 bits.
This is another example of very specific situations in INFOSEC. It's unlikely that you will become a victim to this key logger attack. And of course the title suggests that Apple's Find My network is compromised. This is not the case. But it is being utilized, in this instance, against Apple's rules and regulations.
The real hack here is that the victim had their keyboard modified or was given a compromised keyboard that broadcasts Bluetooth signals, that are then picked up on the Find My network. It could be transmitted via Cellular, Bluetooth, WiFi, audible sound, monitoring energy differentials, etc. It's the HMI hardware that's been compromised. Apple will likely develop updates to their Find My network, but the compromised keyboard could then be modified to use some other service or broadcast methods. Apple fixing the Find My network to recognize bad actors will not prevent this style of attack.
This is why they've been running nonstop ads about their "code of ethics" and how they help the community. The ads have been run practically on loop for several weeks in English and Spanish. At first I was just like, what a joke, tell that to 2007. But then it was just getting weird how often the ads would play...now I know why. They must have known this was coming to light.
It's a really nice mouse, sleek, super portable, and I never use mine.
I have the trackpad (general productivity, day to day use), a Logitech MX Anywhere 3S (engineering drawings and other editing that flows better with a mouse), and the MX Master 3 (all of the above, best productivity mouse I've ever used).
My preferred mouse is the MX Master which stays at the home office and flips between devices. The trackpad stays at my work office, and the MX Anywhere travels with me. The Magic Mouse simply doesn't have enough utility for anything I'm doing.
But that's what it is, a funny thing. Why can't that be said? Because this is absolutely not a meme, not by a stretch. This image won't be repurposed with different text, taking its meaning and applying it to a different context like memes do.
And all it took was him telling them to go fuck themselves.
Not sure who's dumber, Elon or the advertisers.
