Russia bans officials and state employees from using Apple devices for “work purposes”, after the FSB claimed Apple helped the NSA surveil Russian iPhone users
FSB enforces crackdown on use by state officials after claiming it uncovered an espionage operation using Apple devices Bluesky: @slightlyoff.bsky.social . Twitter: @jfporchez , @demopj , and @ilvestoomas Bluesky: Alex Russell / @slightlyoff.bsky.social : My emotional deadzone for anything Apple is well documented, but this is hilarious. iOS is more secure than average Android, which is dead-code-walking (friends don't let friends carry not-Pixel). — This isn't to say that iOS is *good*. It's not; the WebKit monoculture is bad, actually, for security. … Twitter: Jean François Porchez / @jfporchez : 😉 The problem isn't what Putin agents report but the reverse! FSB isn't able to spy their agents using Apple products easy as with alternatives: “Apple has never worked with any government to build a backdoor into any Apple product, and never will” https://www.ft.com/... @demopj : “FSB enforces crackdown on use by state officials after claiming it uncovered an espionage operation using Apple devices.” https://www.ft.com/... @ilvestoomas : Yeah, let's use Chinese phones* instead. Those will be secure. *Russia is not capable of producing its own mobile phones. https://www.ft.com/...
