- LeoPanthera 5y agoIf you believe this you have misunderstood how iCloud works.
- what_ever 5y agoWould you clear the misunderstanding then?
- LeoPanthera 5y agoiCloud Backup works differently to all other iCloud services. How it all works is documented: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/welcome/web https://support.apple.com/guide/security/welcome/web
- headmelted 5y agoNowhere in the linked site that I’ve been able to find does it explain clearly that iCloud backup undermines on-device encryption. The point is that the deep compromises made inside iCloud Backup are hidden from the user and (at best) buried deep in technical documentation. So deep in fact that I can’t find any mention of it on that site at all.
- nr2x 5y agoStoring an essentially plain text copy of your entire phone on an Apple server is the default setting. You have to actively find the setting to enable the security feature (not having Apple give your data to any gov they want) by disabling another feature that makes no mention of security (backups). iOS is not safe.
- tailspin2019 5y agoOP is talking about the security of iCloud backups and that using this feature cancels out a lot of the end-to-end encryption that Apple talk about heavily in their marketing. What is being misunderstood?
- nr2x 5y agoI assure you I haven’t, and neither has the FBI.
