Re: Apple changed their documentation at my request but it proves they don't care about privacy

Heh heh heh... 

While I realize Apple religious zealots will attack people personally
because they defend the mothership to the death, no matter what, without
ever even understand the issue at hand, what matters for this thread, is we
discussed this at length on Apple ngs using the *old* Apple documentation.

We reproduced the work of researchers from Levin & Rye in this paper
 *Surveilling the Masses with Wi-Fi-Based Positioning Systems*
 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14975>

We posted the python scripts.
And we chose a location in Louisiana to track router movements by BSSID.
And we listed the results, by BSSID, GPS and home address.
We quite easily found the registered owners of each of those residences.

Do you remember that?
I do.

We proved that everything said in the paper above was correct, down to the
very fact that Apple let lil'ole'me collect tens of thousands of
identifying pairs of BSSID's and GPS locations (which map to addresses).

We proved, even at that time, months ago, that anyone could track the
movements of that BSSID forever, from anywhere in the world, to anywhere
else in the world, without any protection whatsoever by Apple.

This is what the paper said would be the case.
And it was.

What's *different* is the paper did not cover hidden broadcast BSSIDs.
I did.

That's the test which Chris is talking about, and which Apple knows about.
  a. Apple _removed_ my BSSIDs _after_ I told them about this.
  b. And Apple _changed_ the documentation, _after_ I told them about this.

That's pretty good for someone whom the Apple trolls claims "knows NOTHING
about Apple", especially since I proved every single claim that I had made.
