iPad thief unknowingly sends pictures of herself to the owner
Allen Engstrom said he left his iPad on an airplane and it somehow ended up in the unidentified woman's hands.
The woman now in possession of the iPad has been taking silly photos of herself, seemingly unaware that the device is synced to an iCloud, meaning every time she takes a photo of herself stream back to Engstrom's iPhone.The iCloud feature syncs data across more than one Apple device.
Though iPads can be tracked on a map or locked, unfortunately Engstrom didn't have any location services turned on.
Engstrom has been posting the pictures on his Facebook and Twitter pages to entertain his friends and followers, but also in the hope that someone will recognise the woman and help him get his iPad back.
I have no problem with putting it on Facebook, because hey, it’s fun for me and it’s apparently fun for a lot of other people and there’s always the chance that someone will say, ‘hey, I know who that is’.
It’s been a continuing fountain of entertainment for me. It’s just like I’ll wake up one day and they’ll be new pictures there and I’m like, ‘oh my gosh, she has no idea’.His name and email address are engraved on the back of the tablet so the current owner can’t have mistaken the iPad for her own.
The woman’s pictures have gone viral on the internet, with many offering to help keep an eye out for the culprit.
self-portraits appeared on Allen Engstrom’s iCloud photostream.
Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
