Apple Infringes User Privacy to Give Consumers Safety Alerts

CCTV’s “News Room” has recently exposed the Apple iPhone’s acquisition of personal privacy without user’s permission. The CCTV survey reveals that in the iOS version of Apple iOS 7.0, as long as the user uses software and connects WiFi on the Apple mobile phone, daily track information such as the time and location of the user's use of the software will be fully recorded. In the face of doubt, Apple first publicly acknowledged the fact of collecting user information. This behavior has caused widespread dissatisfaction among domestic users and it has once again sounded a security alarm for consumers.

According to CCTV's investigation into the Apple Security Gate Incident, Apple has hundreds of millions of mobile phone users in China, and most iPhone users are unaware of the unauthorized collection of personal information. The 60 Apple mobile phone users randomly interviewed in Beijing, Qingdao and Taiyuan knew that Apple accounted for less than 10% of the users who collected personal privacy information. Most users expressed surprise when they understood this fact, and they were dissatisfied with it.

Many users said that this behavior of Apple has seriously violated personal privacy and safety, and has no positive effect. It is highly negative. A number of industry experts believe that Apple's infringement poses a serious threat to both personal security and national information security. This incident has serious problems from the industry normative and legal perspectives. Another lawyer suggested that in the case of Apple’s monitoring and stealing user’s secret information, relevant departments should temporarily suspend the sale of Apple’s mobile phone in mainland China.

Previously, when it came to the security of smartphones, people focused their efforts on the Android system that Samsung had been relying on. Apple’s iOS has always been considered safer due to its closedness and strict application review mechanism. However, when Apple's iOS "backdoor" was released to the public, the security image that Apple has been trying hard to create has vanished. It is even more dangerous than Android, with a hidden "backdoor" and a loophole. Apple, Samsung and other foreign mobile phone manufacturers are experiencing an unprecedented crisis of confidence in China.

Domestic mobile phones will welcome opportunities

It is reported that with the continuous fermentation of the Apple secret door incident, information security has once again become the focus of public opinion. The Shenzhen government has used the domestic system on the PC side after industry experts have appealed for "the state public official should disable the iPhone." Analysts pointed out that how to effectively prevent information security has prompted people to begin to re-examine their purchasing needs. With foreign mobile phone security insecure, domestic mobile phones will usher in new opportunities for development.

Xiang Ligang, a communications technology expert, previously stated that currently the information security problems faced by Chinese consumers are very serious. In addition to cell phone and PC information leakage problems, many companies use servers and databases as foreign brands, and information security also exists. Risk. Professor Zeng Jianqiu of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications also said in an interview with the media recently that this information security incident will affect Apple’s promotion in China and the upcoming iPhone 6 sales, but the key to the breakthrough of domestic mobile phones is to achieve technical Innovation is the development of China's own mobile operating system is the right way for the current development of domestic information technology, the second is to promote the innovation of domestic brands in security technology, to strengthen the dual protection from hardware security to software security.

Information security into the next duel market

With the explosive growth of the mobile Internet, mobile phone security risks always arise with new formats and new services. According to a survey conducted by the United States research agency, 92% of respondents believe that they have shared too much information on the Internet, and many people are worried about geolocation services that can determine where someone is located.

According to industry insiders, as more and more mobile phone “backdoors” are opened, mobile phone security will be one of the main reasons for users to consider when selecting smart phones. In the future, who can make full use of the consumer experience in security, who will grasp the initiative in the mobile phone market.

The continuous development of smart phones, privacy leaks, Trojan horse viruses, fraud and other security issues are endless, and mobile phone manufacturers have gradually turned their R&D goals to a clearer direction on how to improve the security performance of the mobile phone itself.

It can thus be seen that mobile phone consumers increasingly recognize that issues involving security are large or small, and everyone has the right and need to protect their privacy. At a time when smart phones tend to be diversified and personalized, the field of information security will become the next duel market for domestic mobile phones.

In fact, at the level of protecting users' personal privacy and system security, some domestic mobile phone brands have formed unique anti-thief features after years of accumulation and innovation. In terms of Coolpad, the cool cloud system it developed uses technologies such as low-level data encryption, transmission encryption, backup encryption, and anti-eavesdropping technologies, which can fully guarantee the security of user data under the premise of ensuring efficiency.
