Apple 6 will meet you this summer, but a spy related news really makes us sick. Apple's collection of user information is reported by CCTV. To know how important personal privacy is, Apple's collection of user information actually hides a big secret. Prism door is inextricably linked with Apple's mobile phone.
Today, CCTV's "news studio" revealed that as long as the software is used on Apple's mobile phone, the time and place where users use the software will be recorded. This way of obtaining information is synchronous with the use of software, and has higher positioning accuracy than mobile phone base station and WiFi. Experts said that according to the information displayed by the mobile location-based service, one can completely analyze one's personal trace, and the user's dynamic will be fully disclosed. And Google, apple and other companies have also been involved in lawsuits for unauthorized collection of user information.
Apple collects user information in two ways
1. Apple software positioning is more accurate than unlimited routing. Through operation, it is found that when using the software, the usage of the software will appear in the corresponding location folder, including the use time, longitude and latitude of the location. Although the folder shows encryption, it can be opened without any decryption. The positioning information is completely synchronized with the use of software. Compared with mobile phone base station and WiFi Positioning, this positioning method has higher accuracy.
2. Close positioning, still working. Martin, Dean of the school of network security of the people's Public Security University of China, accurately analyzed the behavior track of mobile phone users according to the location information in the Apple phone. Martin said: 'the location function in Apple mobile phone can display the location, time and frequency of mobile phone users' frequent activities. It will analyze a person's complete behavior track in detail. It is open and there is no secret. Even if the user turns off the location function, it will not change the background system. The system can record the location and time of mobile phone software. '
It's terrible for apple to collect user information and expose users' privacy. But in fact, apple and prism door are also inextricably linked. Let's listen to Xiaobian and join you.
From December 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013, apple received 4000-5000 requests from the government to view user information, involving 9000-10000 accounts or devices These requests came from the Federal Bureau of investigation, national security department and geographic location providers. The most important thing is the location of robbery suspects, most of which are to find children who have lost their children or Dutch act.
We know why Apple's mobile phones are designed with batteries that can't be disassembled. Nominally, it's to make apple phones thinner, more beautiful and more convenient to use. In fact, Apple's mobile phones have the largest sales in the United States and the world. Monitoring Apple's mobile phones is almost equivalent to monitoring the phone network all over the world in the United States. It's really a very convenient network to use.
Apple's mobile phone is designed to be non detachable. Well, even if you turn off the phone, the U.S. government can still monitor what you say by using software, because the cell phone battery is still in the phone and can't be removed, as long as the phone is around you.
By the way, why is apple the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer? Besides Apple's efforts, this is also the will of the U.S. government.
At the beginning, when jobs made mobile phones, his idea may be very simple, that is, to make a good mobile phone that can be used by people all over the world. But with the gradual successful expansion of mobile phone sales, the U.S. government has also targeted apple. Since Apple's main purpose is to make apple mobile phones available to people all over the world, the U.S. government just needs to monitor the calls of people all over the world Therefore, the cooperation between the U.S. government and apple has become inevitable.
In order to maintain the leading position of Apple mobile phones in global sales, while apple develops and improves its technological capabilities, the U.S. government certainly provides some advanced technologies to help Apple improve its technological advantages. Of course, in return, Apple also adds the military monitoring software of the U.S. government into the handset.
It's good for both sides. This time, the United States will defend the trust crisis in the United States caused by Snowden. If Snowden continues to disclose information, it needs to be careful to prevent its own life safety. Even if he is in Russia, if the US government fails to extradite him, it may take secret service operations.
