Urgent Warning for iPhone Users: Turn Off AirPlay Auto Feature NOW — Hackers Can Exploit It!🚨

/ Oligo Security Uncovers 23 Vulnerabilities in Apple’s AirPlay Feature, Allowing Zero-Click Attacks Across Billions of Devices

Cybersecurity experts warn that AirPlay auto feature could let hackers access your
iPhone — disable it now.

Apple’s popular wireless streaming feature AirPlay has come under fire after cybersecurity firm Oligo Security revealed a devastating set of 23 vulnerabilities — now dubbed "AirBorne" — capable of allowing hackers to hijack iPhones, Macs, smart TVs, speakers, and even CarPlay-enabled vehicles.

The flaws expose over 2.3 billion Apple devices and 500 million third-party AirPlay-compatible systems to zero-click attacks, meaning hackers could take control without any user interaction.

Top 3 Things You Need to Know About the AirBorne Vulnerabilities:

👉 Zero-Click Exploits: Hackers can remotely install malware, steal data, or hijack devices just by being on the same Wi-Fi network — no user action needed.

• Cross-Network Worm-Like Attacks: Infected iPhones or Macs can spread malware to other devices on public or home Wi-Fi networks.

• 🔧 Security Patches Available for Apple Devices: Updates rolled out in iOS 18.4, macOS Sequoia 15.4, and tvOS 18.4, but many third-party AirPlay devices remain vulnerable.

According to Oligo, two of the vulnerabilities allow hackers to weaponize iPhones to spread malware to any device connected to the same network. Smart speakers and infotainment systems with CarPlay are also at risk.

Apple has since patched its own devices, but the real danger lies in third-party AirPlay products — many of which may never receive an update. As Oligo’s Idan Elbaz told Wired:

“Because AirPlay is supported in such a wide variety of devices, a lot will take years to patch — or never be patched at all.”

How to Protect Yourself from AirBorne Attacks

👉 Update Apple Devices: Install the latest versions — iOS 18.4, macOS Sequoia 15.4, or tvOS 18.4.

👉 Disable AirPlay When Not Needed:

        👍Go to Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity

        👍Tap Automatically AirPlay and select "Never"

👉 Use Security Software: Install trusted antivirus tools for an extra layer of protection.

👉 Check Third-Party Devices: Contact manufacturers for firmware updates or disable AirPlay if updates are unavailable.

Apple confirmed that these attacks require the hacker to be on the same Wi-Fi network, but experts warn that public hotspots and unsecure home networks remain vulnerable.
