iPhone security flaw gave total control and access to all your data over Wi-Fi
Google Project Zero researcher Ian Beer has published his research into an iOS vulnerability that allowed him to develop an exploit to remotely take control of iPhones over Wi-Fi using AirDrop. Specifically, Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL).
Beer reported the issue to Apple and he said it was fixed before the launch of Apple's "Privacy Preserving Contact Tracing" application programming interface (API), otherwise known as the Google-Apple Exposure Notification (GAEN) API.
