Abasebenzisi be-Apple sizizwa siphephile uma sinenkampani. Ngemuva kwengxabano yabadumile "San Bernardino iPhone" kanye nezitatimende zomphakathi eziqhubekayo zomholi ophezulu wenkampani, uTim Cook, ngicabanga ukuthi bambalwa kithi abangabazayo ukuthi i-Apple iphatha imininingwane yethu sengathi ingumcebo. Inkampani iyazi ukuthi njengamanje, ubumfihlo nokuphepha amanani akhuphukayo, futhi kuze kube manje, ngaphandle kwamaphutha ezokuphepha okungekho nkampani ekhululiwe kuwo, singaqiniseka ukuthi sisezandleni ezinhle.
Kodwa-ke, ngisho nokucabanga ukuthi ukuzethemba kwethu kusekelwe emaqinisweni athile, iqiniso ukuthi ngisho ne-Apple ayikhululekile enkantolo enkantolo ephoqa ukuthi inikeze imininingwane ethile yomuntu siqu wabasebenzisi emaphoyiseni noma kubaphathi bezomthetho. Futhi lena impela iyinkinga yemininingwane inkampani egcina kumaseva ayo maqondana noxhumana nabo esinabo kwi-iMessage.
iMessage, uyakuqinisekisa ubumfihlo bethu?
Ezinyangeni ezedlule zikaMashi no-Ephreli, inkundla yemiyalezo IMessage yakwa-Apple ithole izimbobo ezithile zokuphepha lokho kwenza ukuvuza kwezithombe nemiyalezo ngokulandelana. Kwakungeyona inkinga yokuqala yezokuphepha inkampani ebhekane nayo, futhi ngeshwa kubasebenzisi, ngeke kube eyokugcina.
I-Apple yenze kancane futhi akukho sikhathi lapho ibisilungisile la maphutha okuphepha. Yize kunjalo, leli qiniso lembula ukuthi umjaho ophakathi kwezinkampani ezinjenge-Apple wokuqinisa izindlela zokuphepha, abaduni kanye nezinhlangano zikahulumeni ezifana ne-FBI ubungeke ume.
U-Apple uthathe izinyathelo eziningi zokugcina imininingwane yethu yangasese iyimfihlo. Isibonelo esihle salokhu ukuthi ikhodi yokuvula ye-iPhone, noma isigxivizo somunwe uqobo, asigcinwa kumaseva enkampani. Kepha lokhu akusho ukuthi njalo futhi kuzo zonke izimo idatha yethu iphephile ngamaphesenti ayikhulu.
Imethadatha, enganikezwa amaphoyisa
Ngokusho umbiko eshicilelwe ngu I-Intercept, imethadatha yezingxoxo esinazo noxhumana nabo nge-iMessage igcinwa kumaseva we-Apple. Kuze kube manje singakwazi ukuzola, kepha, lesi simo sidala lokho inkampani ingaphoqeleka ukuthi idlulisele lolu lwazi emaphoyiseni ngemuva kwesinqumo senkantolo.
Okuqukethwe ezingxoxweni AKUKHO okuqoshiwe, kepha uhlu lwezikhathi zokuxhuma, usuku, imvamisa esihlangana ngayo noxhumana naye othize, ikheli le-IP lomsebenzisi kanye nemininingwane ethile maqondana nendawo. Kungenzeka kanjani lokhu?
Lapho sithayipha inombolo yocingo kwi-iMessage ukuqala ingxoxo yombhalo, amaseva we-Apple athola leyo nombolo ukuthola ukuthi oxhumana naye omusha usebenzisa iMessage. Uma kungenjalo, imibhalo ithunyelwa ngemilayezo ye-SMS futhi amabhamuza avela eluhlaza, kuyilapho imilayezo ethunyelwe nge-iMessage ivela ngombala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
Ukuba ne-Apple kulolu lwazi, iziphathimandla zingacela ngokusemthethweni lawa marekhodi, futhi i-Apple izodingeka ngumthetho ukuwanikeza.
Okushiwo yi-Apple, nalokho engazange ikusho
U-Apple wathi ngo-2013 iMessage yanikela ngezinga lokuphela kokubethela, ngakho-ke akekho noyedwa, ngisho namaphoyisa, owayekwazi ukufinyelela kubo. Yize lokhu kuyiqiniso, akashongo lutho ngemethadathangokusho bayaqinisa kusuka ku-Engadget.
U-Apple ukuqinisekisile I-Intercept ukuthi iyahambisana nezicelo ezisemthethweni zalawa marekhodi ngqo, kepha okuqukethwe yimilayezo kuhlala kuyimfihlo. Iqiniso, njengoba sonke sazi, ukuthi izinkampani zocingo bezilokhu zinikeza le datha "ingunaphakade", futhi yize i-Apple imelane nokuhlaselwa yi-FBI ekuqaleni konyaka futhi yasungula okusha, okuphephe kakhulu kohlelo lwefayelaEkugcineni, kubonakala sengathi kuhlale kunokuthile okungaphezu kwamandla ethu.
Futhi ngaphandle kwakho konke lokhu, futhi lokhu kungumbono womuntu uqobo, Ngikholwa ukuthi i-Apple yinkampani eqinisekisa ubumfihlo bethu namuhla, ngoba uma sikhuluma ngeGoogle noma ngeFacebook sinesikhashana.
