If you have AirDrop set to accept files from everyone, you might want to change that, for now. Researchers have found vulnerabilities affecting both AirDrop and Android's analogous feature, Quick Share, which allow malicious actors to attack victims' phones and temporarily break Continuity features including AirDrop, Universal Clipboard, Handoff, and Continuity Camera. Apple says a fix is on the way, and that hackers can't use this bug to steal victims' data, but if you'd rather not temporarily lose the ability to copy text from your phone and paste it on your Mac, you should change your AirDrop settings (for now).
