Yep, that’s pretty much it. There doesn’t seem to be a guarantee that you’ll get all the “packets”. I’m not sure what the Find My update rate is either so I don’t imagine this will be very effective to exfiltrate data.

Sometimes a few bytes can be very valuable. Think of the signing keys of Microsoft or a high value bitcoin wallet.

And these things lose their value quickly once the target knows you have them so this kind of almost undetectable exfiltration is smart.

And packet loss can be mitigated with resending, and/or high amounts of parity data.
