Nothing Chats iMessage bridge was astoundingly insecure

Nothing and Sunbird pulled the shockingly insecure iMessage bridge, but only after it was discovered that not only did Sunbird log and retain messages, vCards, and more, but that retained user data could also be downloaded by others.

      My hindsight bias was like someone would have developed something like this earlier and failed so this new initiative may have the same fate…and it did.

      I have to share this every time I see Nothing Phone posted. Reddit’s Spez is the biggest investor. Do you trust him with your cell phone? He’s second to only Google Ventures. I’m not interested in giving that man any more money than the ad revenue I generate on Reddit.

      Funny thing is, Apple didn’t even had to lift a finger
