37 people joined a class action lawsuit against Apple over stalkers using AirTags to track them. The lawsuit, filed last year by two women, claimed Apple AirTags had been used by stalkers to track the location of their victims. "One of the most dangerous and frightening technologies employed by stalkers is the use of real-time location information to track victims," the lawsuit says. Others have also used AirTags to plot car thefts. The lawsuit claims that "individuals have been murdered — or murdered others — when using AirTags to track stolen property and confront thieves."

Dec 6 (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) has been sued by two women who said its AirTag devices have made it easier for their former partners and other stalkers to track down victims. The plaintiffs called AirTag "the weapon of choice of stalkers and abusers," and said it has been linked to murders this year of women from Akron, Ohio and Indianapolis. One plaintiff in Monday's lawsuit, Lauren Hughes, said her former boyfriend learned where she had moved to avoid him after placing an AirTag in her car's wheel well. The other plaintiff, Jane Doe, said her estranged husband tracked her after putting an AirTag in their child's backpack. The case is Hughes et al v. Apple Inc, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No.
☆ 2 women are suing Apple alleging that former partners hid AirTags in a car and a child's backpack and used the devices to stalk them

Two women are suing Apple over its AirTag device, saying former partners used the trackers to stalk them. In the class-action suit, filed in San Francisco, one plaintiff says an AirTag was hidden in her car. In response, Apple has introduced updates since its 2021 release – when AirTags were reported by one outlet as being "stalker-proof." She could only get the device to beep once, before finding it hidden in the wheel well of her car. She then found an AirTag in the child's backpack and got rid of it – before it was replaced with another.
