This sounds a bit like the same sort of customer-experience related hacks that MSFT used to (maybe still does) put in all their software and that caused so many holes in security. Poor attention to security won't just let US government intrusion, it'll also let in other governments and hackers. Seriously, letting a 'trusted computer' enable that data syncing? They're playing with fire. (feel free to let me know if I'm missing anything here)
- Spooky23 12y agoThat's an easy thing to say. But on the same token, if Apple required individual authentication to access the filesystem remotely, critics would scream about the privacy issues associated with linking a file transfer to a human identity. The process of establishing "trust" between computer and iOS device probably needs a little work, but the concept itself isn't inherently insecure. Why isn't the security press screaming about the scary inclusion of a massive black hole of security risk on OS X.... OpenSSH? All I need to do get physical access, click a checkbox in a preference pane and copy a public key to a user's home directory, and "poof" I own the box!
