That Apple is concerned about the privacy of users is something that we have been able to verify due to the legal dispute that Tim Cook and company currently faces with the US Department of Justice. This is the reason (or one of them) why, according to The Information medium, the Cupertino company has a total of six projects underway to expand its cloud infrastructure to iCloud. We have already talked about one of them in Actualidad iPhone, a project that has the name of Project MacQueen, which will be for custom data storage systems.
The Information says that Apple suspects that some of the third-party servers used by iCloud could have been intercepted during shipment and that someone might have added additional chips and firmware «with the intention of making them vulnerable to infiltration«. In other words, and although it is not what they say in Cupertino, Apple does not control the servers where iCloud data is stored, so it cannot guarantee that no one will try to look at what the cloud that the company offers or its physical manipulation contains. .
Apple wants to create its own infrastructure for iCloud
According to sources, Apple has even put people to «take photos of the motherboards and write down the function of each chip, explaining why they are supposed to be there«. The problem is that today, and for several years, the apple company does not have enough infrastructure, so they have to hire solutions from Microsoft, Amazon or, the last to enter this list, Google.
This news comes shortly after the agreement between Apple and Google to make use of the company's cloud now owned by Alphabet, a firm that appears to have entered into a multi-year deal.
