It's bizarre that Sunbird touted their solution as end-to-end encrypted, when it can't be - iMessage drops to plaintext on the Mac farm.
As someone who works in the tech industry, this is not surprising to me at all. Typically the people who communicate with the media and customers don't know a single thing about tech. They don't know what end to end encryption means. They know just know encryption is involved and they have heard the buzzword, so they repeat it.
Shady service turns out to be insecure and shady. I’m shocked. The real take away from this is if Nothing thought this was a good idea, what other horrible things have they done to their ROM we haven’t found out about yet.
E2ee, except when we have to switch protocols. Trust us bro.
Just don't use apple services? Force everyone to use signal or fuck off... Thats what i did.
You fucked off?
Hmm, tracks. I will continue using nothing from them
I was sure that something like this would happen, but I'm really impressed by how quickly it happened.
