Google and Apple recently announced they’re prepared to team up to crack down on ‘Bluetooth tracker stalking.’ These trackers (like AirTags and Tiles) have become a must-have for travelers, yet they leave users open to harm. Dave Burke, Google’s vice president of engineering for Android, explained that, “Bluetooth trackers have created tremendous user benefits, but they also bring the potential of unwanted tracking, which requires industry wide action to solve.” In practice, bad actors have placed trackers on unsuspecting victims to follow them — and even used the method to steal high-end cars. Now, the two tech giants hope to roll out better anti-stalking features, and guard rails that can help protect users.
