A new security failure called “Airborne” I could allow hackers to access your information or even listen to your conversations via speakers and televisions with AirPlay or the Carplay system of your car. We explain how you work to find out how to avoid it.

A group of researchers discovered a security failure in Airplay and Carplay. The two systems use Wi -Fi connection for its operation, and it is precisely via the WiFi network that they could access your information. In the case of broadcasting, The pirate must access the WiFi network To which you are connected, and if your home network has adequate safety measures, you could be calm, but if someone access your Wi -Fi and you have an AirPlay speaker or an Apple system compatible with the Apple system, it could listen to your conversations via the microphones of these devices. In the case of Carplay, access would be via the Wi -Fi network generated by the car to connect to your iPhone. This network can have low safety keys depending on the vehicle manufacturer, and access by hackers would be easier. Carplay cars are not fought with the cable, because thanks to access to the USB port, they could also access your data.

Apple already knows the security failures and has corrected themSo when we talk about the devices made by Apple (like Homepod), we can be calm, But other carplay speakers or systems are not known when they are updatedNot even if they will never be updated to resolve the failure. If you have a product that may have this problem, you must contact the manufacturer to find out if it plans to solve the problem. When Apple says that opening up their functions to all manufacturers can pose security problems, we have a very clear example here that the reason is not lacking.
