Ever wonder, How can you Track your Stolen Smartphone, Laptop or any Smart Device?
...With IMEI Number?
...Or IP address?
...Or may be some special types of equipment?
Well, Not required, because now it is possible to track stolen devices just by scanning their MAC addresses.
Yes, Just MAC addresses, which is assigned to each device on a unique basis by the IEEE, but crooks can modify it in an attempt to hide the origin of the stolen device.
But given the people's practice to never notice the MAC address of their mobile phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, smart TV, smart refrigerator, or broadband router, MAC addresses can be used to track stolen electronics.
