    Hotspot and Airdrop - Apple, are you serious ??

    Suspicious device on my hotspot. Does not have a MAC address. So... what is it?

    Hello everyone, first post here :) I saw this unknown address under my personal hotspot summary on an iPhone: e:69:a5:97:7:17 (with 9 KB of data) Interestingly enough, it only has 10-digits so it cannot be a MAC address. What is it then? Should I be worried?
