    Well that’s terrible. Gonna need a Bluetooth broadcast device that send all kinds of bogus info to these things and figure out how to spoof a bluetooth mac address. or a hammer or one of them projectile shooters Americans seem to love.

    Although, in an alternate timline where technology is used for good, if these things connected to the various find-my networks to help people locate their stuff, that’d be pretty cool.

      For MAC spoofing, just do what Apple does; randomly generate a new MAC every minute or so.

      I’ve actually got an app on my phone that makes it announce itself as a whole bunch of devices from TVs to pacemakers to headphones, with a rotating MAC. It’s interesting seeing what tries to connect to it.
