A billion vulnerable users is wild. I'm sure there are government entities taking advantage of this already
Oh yes, one example is Naomi Wu.
Damn, I didn't know what had happened to her. I really liked her content.
Yeah and didn't she work with Citizen Lab in the past about this? I'm wondering what's new here.
What's new is that apparently "We reported these vulnerabilities to all nine vendors. Most vendors responded, took the issue seriously, and fixed the reported vulnerabilities, although some keyboard apps remain vulnerable."
