Reports of people using Apple AirTags to allegedly stalk others have arisen since AirTags’s product launch in April 2021—and have led to calls for the tech giant to review its security measures.
Apple has been accused by some tech experts of not making their Air Tag products safe.They were designed to help people keep track of their valuables, devices and other products - but some claim that Apple AirTags have been used to track people.
In June 2022, an Indianapolis man was allegedly killed by an ex-girlfriend who police say used an AirTag to track him down. The family of Andre Smith, 26, has called for reform, citing the incident; Marion County police say Smith’s ex-girlfriend, Gaylyn Morris, placed an AirTag in the back of Smith’s car and followed him without his knowledge. Morris has pled not guilty to a murder charge and is awaiting trial.
Hughes is one of two named victims in the class action lawsuit that has been filed against Apple in California. The suit claims AirTags have been "the weapon of choice for stalkers and abusers" and charges the tech company with negligence, intrusion-upon-seclusion and product liability. Gillian Wade, one of the attorneys who filed the suit, told "Nightline" that one of her clients found an AirTag placed under the wheel of her car and colored to match the vehicle's color.
