Buon giorno, un altro brandello di informazione in merito alla lotta contro l'encryption e2e: a quando la messa al bando (per i comuni mortali)? :-O per fortuna abbiamo ancora la possibilità di scegliere il software col quale fare il backup :-D (non ho idea di come funzioni su iOS, ma è una scelta anche quella ;-) ) segnalato da un amico: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusive/exclusive-appl... Exclusive: Apple dropped plan for encrypting backups after FBI complained (JANUARY 21, 2020) estratto: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- The agency relies on hacking software that exploits security flaws to break into a phone. But that method requires direct access to the phone which would ordinarily tip off the user, who is often the subject of the investigation. Apple’s iCloud, on the other hand, can be searched in secret. In the first half of last year, the period covered by Apple’s most recent semiannual transparency report on requests for data it receives from government agencies, U.S. authorities armed with regular court papers asked for and obtained full device backups or other iCloud content in 1,568 cases, covering about 6,000 accounts. The company said it turned over at least some data for 90% of the requests it received. It turns over data more often in response to secret U.S. intelligence court directives, which sought content from more than 18,000 accounts in the first half of 2019, the most recently reported six-month period. Had it proceeded with its plan, Apple would not have been able to turn over any readable data belonging to users who opted for end-to-end encryption. Instead of protecting all of iCloud with end-to-end encryption, Apple has shifted to focus on protecting some of the most sensitive user information, such as saved passwords and health data. But backed-up contact information and texts from iMessage, WhatsApp and other encrypted services remain available to Apple employees and authorities. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- Giovanni Biscuolo Xelera IT Infrastructures
