    "AirBorne attacks could also happen if you connect to a public network
    with a device that uses AirPlay - like a MacBook or an iPhone.
    The risks extend to CarPlay devices, too."

    From the same article:

    'Apple has already patched the bugs'

    <https://9to5mac.com/2025/04/29/millions-of-airplay-devices-can-be-hacked-over-wi-fi-carplay-too/>
    "a vulnerability in Apple┬ software development kit (SDK) means
    that tens of millions of those devices could be compromised
    by an attacker."

    From there:

    'Apple says it has issued patches for all its own devices, as well as
    making fixes available to the makers of third-party products.'


    *Apple Airplay-Enabled Devices Hacked via Wi-Fi*
    <https://www.wired.com/story/airborne-airplay-flaws/>
    "hackers to move within a network just as easily,
    spreading malicious code from one infected device to another"

    And from Wired:

    'Apple told Oligo, though these bugs have been patched in updates over
    the last several months,'

    And:

    'and Apple tells WIRED that those bugs could have only been exploited
    when users changed default AirPlay settings.'

    Another tempest in a teapot for Arlen.

    I saw an announcement of the vulns and then saw that they had been
    patched already. That's when I moved on to more relevant things. :-)

    Yep. Good for for groups for getting this fixed before announcing this news.
