Produsele Apple sunt scumpe si nu cred ca exista vreo persoana care ar vrea sa piarda unul de aceea multi utilizatori activeaza sistemul Find My iPhone/iPad sau Find My Mac. Acelasi lucru l-au facut si 2 barbati ale caror MacBook Pro si tableta iPad au fost furate dintr-o masina, insa din pacate hotul a fost indeajuns de destept incat sa dezactiveze serviciile dupa furt. Barbatii au mers la politie, insa fara ajutorul Find My iPad/Mac n-au putut face nimic, dar posesorul Mac-ului si-a adus aminte ca pe laptop avea activ un serviciu numit BackBlaze care ii facea un backup online al datelor, insa permitea si descoperirea Mac-ului in cazul in care a fost furat.
Officer said to call if we had updates. While very nice, he didn’t sound overly hopeful. Clearly, the officers in Detroit had more important things to do like catch murderers, rapists, and other criminals than find our missing electronics. I can’t say I blame them. According to the detective, he assembled a team, and search warrant in hand, knocked on the door of the house. Receiving no answer, they turned on sirens and lights and announced their intention to enter — which they then did, with the aid of a Halligan bar and door ram. Once in, the house was swept and declared clear. Well, except for the drugs.
Initial politia nu a putut ajuta barbatii sa-si recupereze produsele neavand o adresa, insa nici sistemul BackBlaze nu i-a ajutat cu o localizare exacta, dar in final ajutorul a venit din partea hotului. Acesta dorea sa vanda o masina, asa ca pe Mac a incarcat pozele masinii, care au fost salvate in BackBlaze, iar pe internet a pus-o la vanzare. Vazand pozele masinii pe BackBlaze si cautand anuntul pe internet, victimele au reusit sa descopere locatia barbatului, locatie pe care politia a perchezitionat-o si a descoperit ceea ce parea a fi Marijuana, MacBook Pro-ul, insa nu si tableta iPad plus celelalte obiecte furate.
A search of the house, “designed for narcotics distribution,” yielded “multiple, large jars of suspected Marijuana, multiple individually packaged vials of suspected Marijuana and multiple knotted baggies of suspected Marijuana.” My computer was located in an upstairs bedroom next to a mattress.
Chiar daca o parte dintre obiecte nu au mai fost descoperite, MacBook Pro-ul a fost recuperat si asta multumita sistemului BackBlaze. In ziua de astazi Find My iPhone/iPad/Mac a devenit atat de popular incat este inutil, deci sisteme alternative de protectie trebuie utilizate.
