An Indiana woman is said to have told someone that she used an Apple AirTag to kill her husband because he cheated on her.
According to the Indianapolis Star, a woman told a bystander that she found her boyfriend at a local pub after using an AirTag, which is an Apple device that can be used to track someone.
The woman ran over the man with her car after she found him with another woman.
We don't have a lot of information about the case. It's obvious that it's just another data point in a startling trend of people using AirTags and other gps tracking devices, which are cheap and easy to buy online, to menace, surveil, or attack other people.
In December, an Arkansas woman found a piece of Apple hardware taped to the trunk of her car after her phone informed her that there was an AirTag nearby.
In that case, the failsafe worked and the woman was able to remove the device as soon as she found it. If the person being tracked doesn't have an Apple device, they won't be told the way the Arkansas woman was.
Apple said in February that it would work with law enforcement to circumvent AirTag stalkers.
It seems like there's still a lot of work to be done.
