  6. RE: infosec.exchange/@metacurity/1

    Don't leave your electronic car keys within proximity of your vehicle, even inside.

    Put them as far as possible, or inside something which might shield them from this type of signal relay attack.

    @BBCNews

  19. #USA #Surveillance #AirTags #Tile #CarJacking #CarTheft: "“DC government purchased AirTags and Tile devices to provide them to community members who live in areas with the highest density of either Carjackings or Motor Vehicle Thefts,” MPD Sergeant Anthony Walsh told Motherboard in an emailed statement. “MPD provided devices on a first come, first serve basis while supplies lasted. No upcoming giveaways are currently scheduled. The community loved the idea and appreciated the device being gifted as another tool to help locate their vehicle, should the need arise.”

    An informational page on the MPD’s website states that the resident will own the tracking device, and that only the resident will have access to the tag’s location data once they obtain it.

    “The device is yours to keep,” the page reads. “If your vehicle is stolen, you can log into your account and show the officer where your device is pinging.”"
