AirDrop, or AirDrop. It is a unique feature under Apple's iOS, iPadOS and macOS systems, which is used to share files between multiple devices, as long as the file is dragged to the avatar of a friend who uses the airdrop function, you can transfer files one-to-one, but it should be a very useful function, if not used properly, there may be irreparable errors.
According to a report by WKYC TV, a local media outlet in Cleveland, on February 7, 2022, a female teacher sent indecent videos to 200 students of Ginn College through the AirDrop function. It was confirmed that the video was taken by the teacher and her boyfriend and stored in the teacher's mobile phone. At present, the female teacher has been suspended.
Many of the students' parents were very emotional after learning of this matter, and parents said that this kind of video should not appear on such occasions, let alone be touched by children, they believe that whether this matter is accidental or not, there is no difference in the result.
Immediately after the incident, the local police sexual crime investigation team launched an investigation operation. It is reported that in the face of the police investigation, she claimed that although her mobile phone did store indecent videos with her boyfriend, she did not send the videos to students through AirDrop. As of now, according to local information in Cleveland, the investigation is still ongoing.
If, as the teacher said, she stored indecent videos in her phone but did not send them via AirDrop, how did the students receive airdrop notifications?
A staff member from a local network security company told the media that the teacher's mobile phone may have been hacked, and he stressed that if you do not take care of your mobile phone carefully and are taken advantage of by hackers to get a mobile phone, the mobile phone password you set is vulnerable in front of hackers.
Technology is a double-edged sword, and this phrase is familiar to everyone. If we don't use technology, or if we use it wrong, it can have similarly serious consequences.
Assuming the teacher didn't lie, if she had turned off her phone or turned off the AirDrop feature during class, the incident might not have happened.
