   Rest assured I'm in direct email contact with Brian at Krebs on Security   
   who wrote this article, where I've given him all my work and he agrees.   
      
   Krebs on Security: *Why Your Wi-Fi Router Doubles as an Apple AirTag*   
   describes how Apple˘s data was used to track billions of devices globally   
      
      
   His article is what got me started since I wanted to ensure I wasn't in   
   Apple's highly insecure but very public WPS database since I've opted out   
   for years on all my access points, so I'm not in anyone else's public WPS.   
      
   I almost had a heart attack when I found out that Apple has no intention of   
   honoring their very public privacy policy - which - to me - is so egregious   
   an act that I am working with Apple at this very moment to change that   
   policy (since my next-door neighbor is very high in the Apple hierarchy).   
      
   So far Apple has NOT agreed to do the ethical, legal & moral thing,   
   but I'm trying to impress upon Apple execs that this is the wrong approach.   
      
   Time (and effort) will tell as I'm trying to protect the privacy of not   
   only myself, but hundreds of millions of households and firms in the USA.
