AirDrop Security: Apple provides AirDrop service in its iPhone, through which users can share their data from one iPhone to another iPhone, Mac through Bluetooth and WiFi. This transfers data faster and there is no need for cables. Nowadays vloggers also use it. Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s report says that Apple’s AirDrop security has been broken by China. An organization supported by the Chinese government has done this work. Due to the security breach, the government can now see what kind of data users are sharing wirelessly.
Apple has always described its AirDrop service as secure and the company keeps users’ data encrypted. However, China’s Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice has claimed that they have broken the security of the airdrop. This Chinese organization said that through iPhone logs they checked what kind of data the users were transferring. The organization has named this method ‘Technological Breakthrough’ and said that they will prevent illegal data transfer through this.
China gave this reason behind breaking security
The reason given by China for breaking the security of Airdrop was that with this they will be able to solve illegal cases timely and accurately. Let us tell you, this is not the first time that there has been a problem with Apple’s AirDrop. Earlier in 2021, some German researchers had found a flaw in AirDrop, about which they had also informed the company, but Apple did not do any work in this direction.
Breaking the security of AirDrop app is an act of disturbing the privacy of the users. The Chinese agency can now also keep an eye on people’s personal data because it has access to the app.
