Default Apple's Airdrop is a spy tool

Chinese hacked it and Apple knew about it

Apple fanboys beware -- your beloved AirDrop feature, which lets you share files with other iSheep, is a sneaky spy tool for the Chinese government.

The Beijing bigwigs cracked the code and can now snoop on your Coldplay and U2 collection, private photos, videos, documents, contacts, passwords, and anything else you send or receive via AirDrop. They can even see your phone number and email address.

They used a clever trick called a "rainbow table", which turns encrypted information into plain text. They then matched the text with the AirDrop users who were sharing "undesirable content" - whatever that means.
