Apple Maps has ‘secret invisible wall’ around CEO Tim Cook’s house after ‘armed stalker’ targeted his home

APPLE Maps has erected a digital wall around its CEO Tim Cook’s home after a stalker showed up at his residence.

Tim Cook suffered an attempted home invasion in recent months, leading to both Apple and Google Maps blurring out his residence on their systems.

Apple CEO Tim Cook was recently granted a restraining order against a stalker who showed up at his home.

The move by Apple Map’s Look Around feature, and Google Map’s Street View comes after Apple was granted a restraining order on behalf of Cook against his stalker of more than a year.

Julia Lee Choi, 45, drove the 2,800 miles from McClean, Virginia to Palo Alto, California to reportedly try and break into Cook’s $3.4million home.

According to the restraining order, Choi drove her Porsche Macan to California on two separate occasions within two months, with the most recent being in October 2021.

She allegedly showed up at Cook’s home with the intentions of speaking to him, however, told police she “could be violent” when they arrived at the scene.

As of last Friday, Choi has been slammed with a restraining order that prevents her from going within 200 yards of Cook, his home, any Apple employee, and any Apple property.

Choi began tweeting about Cook in October of 2020 and then sent him more than 200 threatening and erratic emails over the course of a year, according to Cook’s lawyer.

The lawyer added that many of the emails sent by Choi were sexual in nature and “highly disturbing.”

“My husband, I am not cleaning, cooking, I am just waiting for my husband! My heart is tingling,” Choi wrote in one tweet on Halloween in 2020.

The woman has also called the Apple CEO the father of their twins and tried to extort money from him, writing to him in an email: “We do not have to meet. Give me 500 million cash. Then I will forget and forgive all better listen to me.”

The filings further claimed that Choi has tried to open several fraudulent corporations, many of which were deemed “highly offensive,” under Cook’s name and Palo Alto address.

According to the legal document, Apple said it believes Choi may still be in the South Bay area of San Francisco, potentially armed with intentions to “return to the Apple’s CEO’s residence or locate him otherwise in the future.”
