A 2 year old video ripping on Apple for something that literally every single platform does, but significantly more in-depth than simple certificate checking (which is all Apple is doing).
I believe in Reddit terms, we called this “karma-whoring”
I just posted this to bring visibility to a topic I think has been overlooked.
A lot of people may not be aware of this security flaw, or the general lack of security and privacy with apple products and proprietary software in general.
I know that most people will downvote anything criticizing apple because they are cultists, so it definitely wasnt for karma.
Are we even talking about the same company? The company that refused to give in to FBI's demand for them to unlock a terrorists phone?
I don't personally use apple products other than my iPad... But calling Apple a company that doesn't focus on privacy is just pure ignorance. They've been one of the biggest companies that has worked FOR privacy. They are not even close to what Google is doing with their software..
Now there are software and hardware that has the capacity to unlock iPhones, but to my knowledge Apple are not the company that let's easy on the users privacy..
As was written in the OP comments apple have already fixed the issues that Louis Rossmann points to here. This video is over 2 years old dude.
🤦
Gatekeeper didnt even use TLS, the most basic of security features, so security and privacy were the last things apple were thinking about when they came up with the idea for gatekeeper. This should alarm anyone with their ear to the ground
As for the FBI not being able to unlock phones is exactly what they want you to think, because they do it for money on the regular allegedly.
EDIT: the link you sent is two years old, so IDK why youre complainin about my link being 2 years old
