A trip to the metro rarely can be called pleasant and calming experience. However, when the biggest problem is the delay of a train or a huge number of people – the situation is not so bad. Things could be much worse. What could possibly be worse? – you may ask. And we will answer you – to contemplate the perverts who pleasure themselves right in the car, or send pictures of their privates to strangers through the service AirDrop.
If you are a proud user of the iPhone, which included the sharing of the AirDrop, the next time you get a request to transfer a file from an unknown phone, you can in response to a photo of someone’s genitals. Curiosity killed the cat.
Something similar happened with Britta Carlson. She quietly rode the train lines 6, when suddenly her phone came a request to receive notes from an unknown device. The girl agreed. The result is quite easy to guess.
Is
In the AirDrop settings on the phone Carlson was billed as «everyone», as she often uses the service at work, and she never thought that someone can come to mind to do such a nasty email. The iPhone has three settings for AirDrop: «contacts Only», «For all» and «Not accept». The default is «contacts Only», and, actually, this helps to protect yourself from obtaining objectionable content from any user with a Bluetooth enabled within a radius of 100 meters. And considering that to calculate the pervert is almost impossible (well, unless you are able to compare different parts of the body of persons), in this case it is better to act proactively and take care of your nerves in advance.
New — well forgotten old
Similar vandalism in public places are nothing new, however, the service AirDrop brought the perverts to a new level. The problem is that with AirDrop, the recipient has no opportunity to see the sent image, as it appears in the preview window, where you can accept or reject it. So, perverts are old, technology is new. Just turn off the service while in a public place, and don’t cause abnormal personalities fun, which they are trying to achieve. But if you are in such a situation, inform the MTA and the police.
