Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens, soft media new friends 1933769, this page blank clue delivery! CTOnews.com November 19, the mobile phone manufacturer Nothing announced that the Nothing Chats beta has been removed from the Google Play store and said it "will postpone the release until further notice to work with Sunbird to fix multiple bugs."

CTOnews.com notes that an article on the Texts.com blog has attracted a lot of attention, showing that messages sent using the Sunbird system are not actually end-to-end encrypted and are easy to crack.

Sunbird responded by denying any security issues and justifying its implementation, doubly emphasizing its security. "although the protocol is HTTP, all data is encrypted."

The key used to encrypt the data is provided through HTTPS, so the Apple credentials or messages sent through the HTTP request are secure and are not open to the public.

The HTTP is only used as part of an one-time initial request that the application notifies the back end of the iMessage connection iteration that is about to take place through a separate communication channel.

Sunbird's ISO27001 authentication (certificate number: IA-2023-09-21-01) is an internationally recognized standard of information security management system, which reflects its commitment to user privacy.

Under Nothing's tweets, many users did not buy it, claiming: "you call the lack of end-to-end encryption, public data exposure and lack of HTTPS protocol an 'error'."We now classify data privacy issues as' errors'?"
