Airtag hacks - scanning via browser, removing speaker and data exfiltration

A researcher explored three security and privacy aspects of Apple's Airtag tracking devices: physically removing the speaker component, using browser APIs (code that web browsers provide to interact with hardware) to detect nearby Airtags without an iPhone, and investigating how data might be extracted through Airtags and Apple's Find My network. The post documents these findings as exploratory research into the Airtag ecosystem.
