The find My tracking, and activation is very worrying.
- toyg 7y agoSupposedly it’s end-to-end encrypted. Basically a p2p architecture of sort. I guess we’ll have to wait for CCC validation and/or shenanigans...
- ihuman 7y agoHow come? You can already do that with Find My Mac; this is just making the remote locking ability more lower-level.
- balls187 7y agoWhile Apple has been pretty good with privacy, there are long been rumored exploits in apple hardware (iirc snowden talked about it) used by state intelligence agencies. Providing this capability gives an additional vector to be exploited. It also may be implemented less securely in other devices, as other manufacturers see the market appeal, leading to more invasive tracking. And, while I generally trust Apple, I don't like the idea that Apple can lock me out of my device should they choose too.
