      Yeah but that's missing the clickbait title.

  The "free internet with no mobile data plan" seems a stretch, unless you consider the speed ok. > Bräunlein reported that he could send at about 20 bits/second and receive at about 25 bits/second, but that his hidden data “messages” took anywhere from a minute to an hour to arrive.

  If you mock up AirTag broadcasts using one and only one of those messages as a public key, and you send it many times to improve its chance of getting through, I can figure out which hidden message you sent by working out the SHA256 hashes of all possible 100 messages… Would this be the equivalent of using a one time pad?

  How does one “..query Apple’s Find My servers for 32 different “public keys”?
