New iPhone Update Just Gave the U.S. Department of Homeland Security a Backdoor to Your Wallet
If you thought your privacy settings were fine, think again. A new iPhone software update quietly enables a feature that allows the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to scan your device for suspected stolen goods—and suddenly, your "Find My" app just became a liability. That vintage camera you bought off Facebook Marketplace? DHS can now flag it, freeze your iCloud, and even trigger a hold on your bank account until you prove ownership. The fix? Turn off "Automatic Lost Mode Sharing" immediately, or be ready to pay for a lawyer every time you sell something online. Your wallet is officially on the line.
