For countless women, what many consider everyday activities – a late-night grocery run or a solo commute – can be fraught with anxiety and apprehension. The mere act of stepping out can feel like venturing into a predatory minefield, where vulnerability is heightened, and shadows loom larger.
And now, in our era of technological advancement, threats have evolved. Devices like AirTags, meant to make life easier and belongings traceable, have been weaponized in sinister ways, intensifying fears of being tracked and targeted.
Recently, one Tiktoker Dani (@danisodope), shared her terrifying story of being tracked by a stranger via AirTag.
“This is my third time trying to record this video because I am still shaking a little bit, and I am nervous and I don’t understand what’s going on right now. But I’m still shaking because I’m furious and I feel like I’m going to have to defend myself in a really ugly situation.”
“Now as you can see it says clear as day, right here, first seen at 6:22 pm. Pop up on my phone until 10:03. And after getting a notification, I was able to zoom in and look at the map of where I was being tracked and I literally was tracked all the way from my sister’s house to the store and back. Literally every store we stopped at I was able to zoom in on that map and see that I was tracked to that location and back to my sister’s house.”
“But again the notification did not pop up until 10:03 to be exact. This is the second time this year of 2023 that I’ve been tracked. The very first time it happened I was out with one of my girlfriends going to brunch and when we came back from brunch, I noticed that I got a notification on my phone letting me know the same thing—that I was being tracked by an AirTag. Instead of it being AirPods, I was tracked by an AirTag.”
