Apple's iOS 15 to reportedly use facial recognition to validate ID cards
The Wallet already has exactly this feature. You don't need to unlock the phone to show a Wallet card from the home screen, and it stays locked.apple_evo said:This is a very slippery slope.Imagine the day when you chose to put your drivers license on your phone, and you get pulled over. You'll need to unlock your phone and swipe over to your wallet-app and bring up the ID to show the officer. What's that officer going to do next? Go back to his squad car and scroll through your entire unlocked phone looking for anything and at everything. You'll say that's an invasion of privacy and they will say "hey you unlocked it and gave it to me!!"If anyone at Apple cares about the right to privacy (at least in the United States), there should be a way to open the wallet, load the ID of choice and display it until a password is entered or the phone runs out of battery.

NSO Group CEO says law-abiding citizens have 'nothing to be afraid of'
There is something in this logic that doesn’t add up:
"We are selling our products to governments. We have no way to monitor what those governments do,"
“average smartphone has nothing to worry about”
“there's nothing to be afraid of. They can absolutely trust on the security and privacy”
”Reports that NSO Group's Pegasus spyware was being misused”
”was used to covertly surveil activists and journalists critical of governments”
”surveil opposition politicians, activists, and reporters”
But either way, in the end “it’s their fault” and “NSO Group shouldn't be responsible”. So in essence, none of this actually needs to make sense or be logical.

Apple holds out in adopting next-generation RCS texting standard
So, in effect, this fall-back solution wouldn’t be able to achieve E2E encryption, since there is a weak link between Apple and the carrier (in both directions).DangDave said:
As it stands right now SMS is not encrypted, but in my example RCS will be encrypted between AT&T users. What we don’t know is what will happen between carriers in the future?auxio said:
So how is it end-to-end encrypted if I type a message and Apple hands it off without encryption to the carrier?DangDave said:
So here is the logic for iMessage users:mcdave said:I don’t see what this has to do with the carriers, are they trying to stay relevant?Apple should just add RCS to SMS as the fall-back option in iMessage.
1.) If you are an iPhone iMessage user and you try to chat/message a non-iMessage phone number it currently falls back to your carrier.2.) Say your carrier is AT&T and you have an RCS capable phone, AT&T then checks to see if the phone number you are calling is an AT&T RCS number and if so, it will initiate a carrier chat. Apple shouldn’t care!
3.) Eventually when AT&T successfully implements cross-carrier persistent RCS with other carriers you will be able to chat with anyone on those other carriers. Apple shouldn’t care!

US Government, NATO accuse China of Microsoft Exchange attacks
Agree. And if they did, it would only be a game for the gallery. In fact, there are many indications that the Chinese government actively promotes these kinds of activities — both financially and technically.hexclock said:
You honestly think China would arrest their own citizens for hacking western companies? Laughable.…
