Sorry, so the privacy concerns turned out to be WORSE than YouTubers had mentioned.
Jfc wow.
Jeez, they didn’t even try.
They beat Google’s record of killing a product!
Jeez, what a week of headlines. I swear it started as Nothing will unveil iMessage for Android. Then shifted to Apple with adopt RCS. The Nothings BlueMessage getting taken down from the play store…to today it is getting killed entirely. This has got to be the shortest lifespan of a product for Android from initial public announcement to death blow.
I’m sorry but…LMAO! 😂
THANKS MARQUES!!
/s
And nothing just lost all brand respect from me.
They never had any from me in the first place.
And nothing was lost (sorry I had to 🫠)
All of that for nothing lmao.
This is just embarrassing.
All of that for nothing
I see what you did there 😉
Quicker than I expected
“Nothing” to see here! Move along!
They got the PR they wanted.
Goes to show, say what you will about Apple keeping a lock on iMessage. However at lease iMessage hasn’t been blatantly exposed to the internet by careless actions from Apple.
iCloud/AppleId has never been “hacked”. Only users with shitty passwords that someone guessed.
Also any time you hear about malware in an App Store, it’s on Android, and not the Apple App Store. I, for one, don’t look forward to the time when they’re forced to open up that “walled garden”.
Sideloading Will never be that easy on iOS like the app store. Even on Android, you have to enable developer options and jump through hoops to sideload. If you don’t want to sideload, don’t.
Guess the CEO got the hint after a bunch of tech tubers pointed out that it’s a security nightmare (login into a remote Mac Mini that now owns the keys to your Apple Account). Could also be that the unexpected RCS move made it redundant so they got the security concerns and used it as an excuse.
MKBHD is the biggest one and called Nothing CEO out directly
Where did he call them out?
No, it wasn’t any of that. It turned out they saved all your messages and anyone can access them.
You forgot the part where they send login credentials with HTTP to the server lol.
Sadly people will read this headline and say “well duh everyone knew that because they’re giving credentials”.
These issues have very little to do with credentials and everything to do with poor software engineering. I would say almost laughable software engineering. I would expect a 2023 graduate of computer science would be aware or and know of these potential flaws.
You forgot the part where they send login credentials with HTTP to the server lol.
Jesus, I’m not even done my Sophomore year of college and I can already tell that’s terrible. Not even HTTPS?!?
He knew lmao. This is a PR move to make big splash in the news, nothing (ayyy) more than that. Perfectly apt knowing that he’s used to be from OnePlus
I like nothing a lot. But it seems that their desire to get publicity from this and prove a point really created a mess.
Suggest that they wait until Apple supports the encrypted rcs standard.
All signs point to Sunbird being actual malware at this point- and, I mean, their motivations were a coin toss from the beginning. I can’t imagine hitching your company’s reputation (not to mention customer security) to something so blatantly sketchy. Not surprised at all by this news.
I do agree with you, something makes me thing though that if the intention was to be malware then why not at least try and obfuscate it for a while… Day one, giant privacy risk… They could have at least pretended for a few days right haha
