"A camouflaged German intelligence agency was apparently uncovered by a researcher using an Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) AirTag.

"What Happened: Lilith Wittmann, an activist-researcher, wrote in a blog that she uncovered the “Federal Telecommunications Service,” which according to her is a secret intelligence agency.

"In the blog, first noted on Apple Insider, Wittmann detailed the steps she took to unmask the government agency.

"Some of the steps she took included going through a database of IP addresses and even driving to an underground parking lot of a building where the supposed intelligence service was housed.

"Wittmann finally deployed an AirTag to confirm her suspicions and obtain what she said was “final proof” by tracking where the mail for the secret agency was delivered.
