Welcome to Episode 3 of the Private by Default podcast.
Today, we’re talking about a serious flaw in how Apple devices communicate over Wi-Fi.
Security researchers at Oligo discovered a set of bugs in Apple’s AirPlay system. They call it “AirBorne.” These bugs could let hackers take control of your iPhone, Mac, smart speaker, or even your car—without you clicking anything.
The danger is real. Some of these bugs let attackers run code remotely. Others can spread from one device to another across your network. That means one infected gadget could put everything else at risk.
Apple has already released patches for its own products. But millions of third-party AirPlay devices—like smart TVs and speakers—are still exposed. Those updates depend on the device makers, and they’re not always quick.
In this episode, we’ll break down what AirBorne is, how it works, and what you can do right now to protect your home network.
Let’s get started.
