Allvarlig säkerhetsbugg i Swiftkey
Swiftkey har tvingats att slå av funktionen där tangentbordsappen föreslår nästa ord medan du skriver sedan det visat sig att data tillhörande andra användare kan läcka ut via den funktionen. Användarens e-pstmeddelanden har bland annat kunnat avläsas av obehöriga.
Enligt Swiftkey själva så är det telefonnummer och e-postadresser som har kunnat läsas av.
This week, a few of our customers noticed unexpected predictions where unfamiliar terms, and in some rare cases emails, appeared when using their mobile phone. We are working quickly to resolve this inconvenience.
While this did not pose a security issue for our customers, we have turned off the cloud sync service and are updating our applications to remove email address predictions. During this time, it will not be possible to back up your SwiftKey language model. The vast majority of SwiftKey users are not affected by this issue. If you have any reason to believe you are seeing unfamiliar predictions, please contact reviews@swiftkey.com.We take users privacy and security very seriously and are committed to maintaining world-class standards for our community.
We will continue to post further updates on our blog.The SwiftKey Team
