Remember the fappening? It doesnt need to be remote grabbing, people just upload their nudes to the icloud. Maybe jeff did as well.
While apple says they are end to end encrypted, I also assume they work with the FBI/whoever to catch owners of illegal content, so they probably would have a way to get the unencrypted content.
- gbear605 8y agoThe “fappening” was done by phishing, not a direct hack on iCloud servers.
- fauigerzigerk 8y agoPhotos and files stored in iCloud are not end to end encrypted: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202303 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202303
- thecatspaw 8y agoOops, I actually looked at that page, but misinterpreted it
- kkarakk 8y ago"working with" the fbi usually means the fbi provides hashes of images containing illegal content like child pornography and image providers give up any accounts that contain images with those hashes(google does it this way) they don't just give the fbi data access without a court order
- thecatspaw 8y agoSure, but to be able to create the exact same hash as the FBI you need to be able to access the unencrypted content.
- mschuster91 8y agoLocal client creates hashes and transmits them together with the metadata and the encrypted data, Apple compares incoming hashes with FBI/NCMC/... databases. Easy as that.
