Any platform has vulnerability to exploit to some degree. But this article is about piggybacking on the Find My network to transmit data without actually compromising the network. It’s a clever technique, and worth reading more than the headline.

It's not malware. They are talking abot physical keyloagger inserted into your keyboard. Real life hack possibility level: 0

It's not apple being hacked here. The network is just being abused to carry data out. It requires a compromised hardware device e.g. a hacked keyboard. You don't even need to be using an apple device, it just piggybacks off of any nearby iPhones.
