Cybersecurity experts are warning iPhone users to turn off AirPlay to protect their devices from a serious hacking threat.
A team at Oligo Security discovered 23 security flaws in Apple’s AirPlay feature, calling the set of vulnerabilities “AirBorne.”
Of those, 17 can be used by hackers to launch remote attacks, some without the user doing anything, known as zero-click attacks.
These flaws could let attackers control your device, steal data, or spread malware across networks. Two of the flaws allow hackers to infect a device and then target others on the same local network.
Apple issued security patches in updates like iOS 18.4 and macOS Sequoia 15.4 on March 31, but many third-party devices that support AirPlay, like smart speakers and car infotainment systems, remain unpatched and at risk.
To protect yourself, experts recommend turning off AirPlay receivers if you’re not using them, and setting AirPlay access to “Current User” only.
