Hundreds of iPhone owners fell victim to perverts
Hundreds of iPhone owners complained about perverts who began to massively send them pictures of genitals in public places.
Apple's AirDrop is a useful way to wirelessly transfer files, but using the wrong settings can help attackers send indecent images. Many Apple smartphone users have started complaining about receiving "d**k pics" - photos of their genitals.
“I can’t believe that someone tried to send me a picture of my member through AirDrop,” one of the exhibitionist victims wrote. Another woman was frightened that similar shots could come to her 14-year-old daughter. The rest of the victims stated that they received photographs in busy public places, most often in subway cars.
Most of the victims seem to be women. It is possible that the attackers who send these photos may even see the recipient.
According to The Sun, it is easy to defend against attackers: just go to the main iPhone settings, find the AirDrop item and tick the words Receiving Off. After that, none of the strangers can send the file to the iPhone owner until he confirms this action on the smartphone. You will not even be displayed as a “nearby” person for AirDrop users.
The second option is Contacts Only, which is Apple's default option for iPhone owners. This will limit AirDrop functionality to people in your iPhone address book. You'll be able to share files with friends, but it won't let strangers send you photos.
