Giving your iCloud credentials to a third party is already sketchy. It gives them the ability to read your messages, documents, health records, etc.

Nothing / Sunbird basically said “trust me bro, we’re super secure.” Then they did this right out of the gate.

What a bunch of morons.

This imploded so quickly I'm impressed

What crackhead thought it would be a good idea to store all of that unencrypted?

This is one of the many reasons I don't like Nothing. They are willing to put users at risk just so they can sell a few more phones.

Let me tell you Nothings strategy:

1. Make an extract clone of the iPhone and put some gimmick lights on it to get attention.

2. Make some airpod clones but make them see through to again attract attention

3. Try to get iMessage working on Nothing 2 (screw you if you're on Nothing 1, Apple style) to reinforce the impression you're using an iPhone.

4. If successful, price the Nothing 3 even higher to make it seem premium even though it's nothing special at all.

5. Bring features to the Nothing 3, that the Nothing 2 and Nothing 1 will never get, even though there is no reason not to give it to them too.

6. Repeat for Nothing 5 and every other Nothing ever. And eventually reach iPhone pricing.

In short, they are using their users just to get popular, become like Apple and get rich. Only to screw you over and make future phones super expensive.

Much like One Plus did. First you position yourself as flagship killer, and once you get a loyal following and deals with mobile carriers then you push the price sky high and give your supporters the middle finger.

Anyone who buys Nothing is a fool.

I don't even exist in the same world as the word "infosec" and even I shudder at the phrase "plain text"

Really? Nobody did an arch review for this and figured this was going to be caught/uncovered/talked about day one?

This sounded like a disaster when it was first revealed they were basically relaying messages through some Macs they had lying around the office.

Lesson learned. Cover up your tracks like Apple before you steal sensitive information.

This is just fodder for the “android is insecure” crowd.

Só, sketchy idea, took around 2 days to be completely dismantled?

Just watched a SomeOrdinaryGamers video about this a couple days ago. Muta gave Nothing too much credit saying the texts etc would probably be encrypted. But lol "plain text". They crazy for that.

LMAO, who would have thunk it? That was a very desperate attempt to make some sales. I noped it the second I learnt that they were using a mac mini somewhere to log people's iclouds. That was the most pathetic thing I have seen in a while.

I love how the marketing for this was absolutely everywhere. It wasn't anything new. It just tried and failed to reinvent the wheel that was matrix bridges.

There's Nothing to see here.

Nothing pulls its iMessage app from the Play Store following privacy disaster

i.e. something pulled its iMessage app from the Play Store following privacy disaster

Any open source way to relay imessage from your own Mac to an android if one was so inclined?
