Btw, now there is a very nice vector of attack to "swat" persons that you don't like:
You create anonymous account, especially pretending to be underage, you send blacklisted pictures to the target. It will be automatically stored on the device of the victim at reception and maybe automatically uploaded to icloud for backup.
Now you just have to wait for an automatic apple shit to trigger and have the company and cops ruin the life of your victim automatically.
It is SaaS: Swat as a service :-)
- samrolken 5y agoIt seems like it isn’t possible to store images in someone’s iCloud Photo Library without their involvement. This would be a major security incident and immediately patched, if someone were able to find a way to do this.
- jbarrs 5y agoDon't most messaging apps these days automatically save all photos by default? I believe this is the default setting on WhatsApp and even Telegram. Even if the photo won't be saved until the recipient opens the message, all that's needed is for them to forget about this setting. Then the photos are automatically uploaded to iCloud, also by default.
- kilroy123 5y agoThis is exactly right and my biggest issue with this. On my iPhone all images I look at on WhatsApp get automatically added to my photos, which in turn automatically get uploaded to the cloud.
