Interesting. Turning bluetooth off via settings doesn't mitigate it? What about disabling AirDrop and Find My?

I didn't try that, but I doubt it will help either. This is a BLE-based attack, you can't disable BLE.

Really? I always assumed turning off bluetooth would disable BLE too. That's annoying...

I'd be interested to know if disabling Find My will stop the attack. Also Airplane mode (you can enable WiFi while in Airplane mode, I think).
