Apple has released a firmware update for AirPods to fix a flaw that could let a malicious actor access the headphones. The authentication flaw affects AirPods (2nd generation and later), AirPods Pro (all models), AirPods Max, Powerbeats Pro, and Beats Fit Pro. According to an Apple advisory, when a user's headphones seek a connection request to one of their previously paired devices, an attacker in Bluetooth range could spoof the intended source device and gain access to their headphones. Therefore, a nearby attacker could eavesdrop on private conversations. This article continues to discuss the AirPods Bluetooth vulnerability and other security issues that Apple recently addressed.
