   "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'

   *AirPlay devices hacked over Wi-Fi; CarPlay too*
  <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.
