iMessage–Vulnerable to spying of users’ messages?

OK, we may be sure that the company may never dare to do the spying on their own but if they’re order to do so, then it looks like we’re fucked for using their products like that. The news about this may be everywhere so even non-American news articles about this are there as well talking about the company’s ability to read the users’ messages from the iMessage app.

Now, we may know that the normal hacker can’t sneak in such things like this due to how powerful the encryption system is for today’s technology but things cannot be the same when those stupid spying agencies can intrude in the services like iMessage and BitLocker to collect data from users like trying to detect for baddies. We don’t know if iMessage will be used by Apple for spying purposes but it is said that it is not gonna happen. Some company called QuarksLabs has found some vulnerability which enables the spying to happen.

So, what should you do? Do you use Android, Windows Phone or BlackBerry when seeing such kind of news like this? Either way, you’re spied no matter which brand of smartphone do you use. It will be a shame on Apple for following the order to read those messages as well.

At least Google may have like same guts to collect your stuffs for advertisement but you are given an opportunity to disable some option that disallows Google to do that because things will get out of hand next month if you didn’t disable that. I already disabled that for my Google account but for now, I don’t think that there’s enough evidence of knowing Google’s similar corrupted motives.
