Apple and WhatsApp say they will keep warning users if their phones are targeted by governments using hacking software against them
Apple and WhatsApp have vowed to keep warning users if their mobile phones are targeted by governments using hacking software against them, including in the US, as two spyware makers seek to make inroads with the Trump administration.
The two technology giants made their statements in response to queries from the Guardian as the two cyberweapons makers – both founded in Israel and now owned by American investors – are aggressively pursuing access to the US market.
Paragon Solutions, which makes a spyware called Graphite, already cemented a deal with the Trump administration in September to give US immigration agents access to one of the world’s most sophisticated hacking tools, after the Department of Homeland lifted a freeze on a $2m contract with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
Didn’t Apple CEO Tim Cook give trump some sort of golden award of some sort… But yeah, they totally have your best interests at heart.
The same cabal of ultra wealthy technofascists proudly standing behind him during his inauguration? I have some doubts.
You need to translate the media language to english. If they say “governments” instead of “government”, it means everyone else who likely does not even want to spy on you
Tech Giants will defend users against targeting and spyware software that doesn’t give them a kickback.
Apple will sell out so fast it’ll make you seasick if they get a bag of cash.
AFAIK they haven’t yet, and if you think they havent been offered a bag of cash for it……
lol!
lmao even.
Starting to just want a landline and a PDA/mp3 player lol. Maybe there is something to the theory the guys ranting in the tin foil hats are time travelers. Or sages at least.
🤥🤥🤥🤥
