The notification showed someone had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10773009\/Tennessee-family-visiting-Disney-world-discovered-unknown-Apple-AirTag-used-track-teen-daughter.html\">tracked<\/a> everywhere Madison had gone between 7:09 p.m. and 11:33 p.m., including the ride back to the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were terrified, we were confused, hurt, and scared,\u201d Gaston said, adding of her daughter, \u201cShe literally watched it follow us from the tram all the way back to our vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once the family believed they had been tracked, they unsuccessfully looked inside their car for the AirTag, then locked the doors, exited the parking lot and informed police, but Madison kept checking her phone to see where the device was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs she was refreshing it, it showed the AirTag was still in our parking spot so somehow when we were frantically shaking out clothes and dumping everything out of our bags it fell out,\u201d Gaston recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Apple writes on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/airtag\/\">website<\/a>, \u201cAirTag is a supereasy way to keep track of your stuff. Attach one to your keys. Put another in your backpack. And just like that, they\u2019re on your radar in the Find\u00a0My\u00a0app, where you can also track down your Apple devices and keep up with friends and\u00a0family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve become aware that individuals can receive unwanted tracking alerts for benign reasons, such as when borrowing someone\u2019s keys with an AirTag attached, or when traveling in a car with a family member\u2019s AirPods left inside,\u201d Apple wrote, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2022\/02\/an-update-on-airtag-and-unwanted-tracking\/\">admitting,<\/a>\u00a0\u201cWe also have seen reports of bad actors attempting to misuse AirTag for malicious or criminal purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen survivors and advocates warned Apple that AirTags were dangerous, the company refused to listen. They claimed that their technical fixes would prevent abuse,\u201d Albert Fox, the executive director of Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP) has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox35orlando.com\/news\/apple-airtags-privacy-group-demands-tech-giant-stop-selling-trackers\">warned<\/a>. \u201cToday, we see that they\u2019re wrong and that AirTags are being abused in exactly the way we feared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis story could have ended way differently,\u201d Jennifer Gaston said. \u201cI\u2019m praising God we have the outcome we have, but it\u2019s because she was diligent and aware of what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
