This is mac OK. The FBI has an interesting idea, the latest on apple intelligence and china. And if in TV watcher in this thursday, the fifth, december twenty twenty four, I can ray, and this is news from macos can brought to you by yours truly and supported by people like you patrons through patron on find out more in that your support at patron dot coms lash macos can remember how apple was the bad guy in the eyes of the FBI for enabling ling and and encrypt tion without a back door for the good guys. What a difference of major breach intelleck unica can make.

According to appears from apple insider, the FBI and sisa, the cyber security and infrastructure security agency say that americans should use encrypted apps such as eye message and face time to be safe from foreign hackers. why? Well, china apple insider says the advice comes from the two agencies in the face of china's ongoing salt typhoon hack.

You probably heard something about that, that we've not talked about. IT here summed up quickly. Thanks again.

The apple insider hackers tied to the chinese government compromised the law enforcement wiretap network of us telecom companies and security analysts. Aren't how bad IT is yet. Hold on a second.

Are you saying a back door built for good guys was used by bad guys? I didn't think that was possible. So typhon was the hacker group that apparently gained access to U.

S. Wiretap systems for several months or longer before they responded back in october. That was able to happen, thanks to the communications assistance for a law enforcement act, which has been around since mid ninety nine days.

The goal of the attacks seem to be geared toward intelligence collection, according to apple insider, and they had lots of room to collect. Verizon communications, atn t and luman technologies are among the companies whose networks were breached, according the sources for the wall street journal. For its part, c, as as that this is what they're been saying all along.

And who knows, maybe they don't tend to grab the headlines the way the F, B, I does. On a call with reporters, jeff Green, executive assistant director for cyber security yet sisa, said, our suggestion, what we have told folks internally is not new here, encysted is your friend. Whether it's on text message or if you have the capacity to use, encrypt and voice communication, even if the adversary is able to intercept the data, if IT is encrypted, IT will make the impossible.

I assume that means impossible to read. The piece also quote an anonymous FBI guy on the same call saying people looking to further protect their mobile device communications would benefit from considering using a cell l phone that automatically receives timely Operating system updates as well as responsibly managed encryption and fishing resistant multi factor authorization for email, social media and collaboration tool accounts. Indications in the apple insider piece are that if you were all eyes message all the time, you're fine, but that is all eye message.

While apple's been working on rcs implementation, hasn't been able to figure out a satisfactory the encysted solution with google or so those chats on your iphone that are blue bubble and Green bubble yet, seems like for now those are not encysted messages that are all google messages are and and encrypted as his google implementation of rcs. If you're worried and who could blame a you might consider end to end encysted solutions like signal of that blue bubble, Green bubbles breed? In other news, I think we figured out what this week's checklist is about more as IT develops.

And now a funny story on the hills of the other story. I mean, it's not really funny, but it's funny. Ninety five max sites a report from the information on apple trying to move apple intelligence ahead in china.

As we know, apple wants as much apple intelligence processing as I can keep on device, kept on device, but user demand can require world knowledge, and in some cases, have you are lifting that is possible on device, leaving apple to partner with LLM, like open a eye here in the states and who knows who in china? The information says IT knows. According to their report, apple and by deo are working on apple and tie li gans for the middle kingdom.

They were reportedly hit two big nags, though first, the report says the models have struggled to understand proms and provide accurate responses to common scenarios posed by iphone users. Just call them hallucinations that should buy you like another year easy. The other problem is more physical.

Hc, additionally, as apple insider, I do reportedly wants to retain data from iphone users who make A I power searches, which is the polar opposite of how apple intelligence and private cloud compute are designed. Molle often has to make concessions to accommodate the chinese market, compromising on user privacy from the sake of A I features, as hopefully a bridge too far. Now I can see two reasons that I do what want to do this.

One is keeping data on how people use A A I, what IT gets right, what IT gets wrong. All that can help by to improve its A I offerings. Another is by do as a chinese company in china, in china kind of likes to collect and monitor information. I think it's sweet that nine to five mac hopes such data attention is a bridge too far for apple. I hope they're hope .

is not misplaced.

There was an interesting, relatively in depth in interview this weekend, wired with apple CEO tim cook, lots in their own apple intelligence generative A I, artificial general intelligence A R and apple vision pro, apple's moves and health. When tim cook is retiring right now, he doesn't sound like he's planning to. And whether apple will go back to live product events, he misses those.

But the answer appears to be no. Funny enough, china does not seem to have come up or IT didn't make the print person anyway. Apple C E O also kept down on the recent election to himself.

All that said, the interview has a lot of great writing prompts for near future. Sipi you're looking for the article. Tim cook, want apple to literally save your life. You can find that at wired dot com or on apple plus, the technical major of apple password has found its way to firefox mac rumors as the corporate no company has launched a dedicated I cloud password ad on for the browser.

The piece says that will let firefox users access passwords and log ins stored in the password APP or I cloud key chain when using firefox on a PC or mac. The piece says the extension is being distributed by apple, though the provided link goes to a moza I for ads. Not surprisingly, you need to business to decide through firefox to add the extension and make IT go.

And finally, today apple T V plus announced another international medical drama hitting the stream and five in impress release on wednesday, the Cooper teo streamer hit the world to berlin. E, R, couldn't we call IT bert lin? Or then if we watch IT, we can say eat bin.

In berliner viewer, formally known as crank berlin, the release describes the show, saying managing a chaotic emergency room and the toughest and most overcrowded hospital in berlin is no small task for a Young doctor, Parker. Doctor Parker is seeking a fresh start in the big city after her private life implodes in munich.
