Or you could look up Cambridge Analytica and see what the Chinese government is really going to do with your data. The Russians have already been caught doing it.
To set the record straight, RCS Messaging supports End To End Encryption and while Google implemented Encryption for use on Android, Apple elected NOT to on iPhone. Apple can still fix this.
SMS has always been insecure. You know what would solve the issue? Apple not being pricks and actually adding encryption to their RCS support. Apple could literally solve this issue by playing ball with Google to use RCS proper.
LOL No way they recommending to use whatsapp, when the whole military was told not to use it back in 2019 due to Chinese hackers stealing information off these apps.
Reporter didn’t know what she was talking about. She also recommended using “Telegraph” a messaging app that doesn’t exist. Along with saying you would be safe on a voice call even though voice calls are no encrypted and there has been countless stories in the news lately about people scamming using AI voices that mimic relatives of the target.
Search Cambridge Analytica. They will and already do use the data to manipulate our politics, beliefs, day to day lives, etc. They aren’t trying to make money off us. They are trying to weaken and control us, so they can make their global moves freely
Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15 KJV If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on TH-cam and a TH-cam channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.* God Bless :)
Honestly, I feel more insecure at the fact that the NSA has been doing this to US citizens for years, illegally! I'm more worried about that than anything. Stop the fear mongering about China!
Because it's not their job to let you know, it's up to the cell phone company that was breached and entirely didn't inform you. Hell, it's still not their job to notify you, they did you a solid and you're bitching about it. Maybe next time, they'll just save the bitching and not tell anyone but the companies involved, which is all they're required to do by law. Now, ask yourself why there aren't laws requiring the companies involved to let their customers know that their messaging traffic is compromised?
The reason sms is still a thing is because of apple. Android to Android uses rcs with encryption while apple refuses to get on board because they want to isolate their users.
Bruhhh... what's the point...i am an asian...the smartphones we used were manufactured from china (except samsung)... Yeah i know smartphone components came from china too...
Apple should absolutely be catching heat for this. It's largely their fault for insisting on forcing any communication outside of their ecosystem of devices to use an archaic and outdated format that was created over thirty years ago - despite more modern and safer alternatives existing for years.
@@privatename7634 you very clearly don't understand what you're talking about. Please inform yourself. Google and the major carriers wanted to take messaging off of SMS years ago, or at the very least migrate the majority of users to RCS. But Apple wanted to keep their imessage experience exclusive and force the use of SMS when communicating to non-iphone users. All for the sake of keeping people in the Apple ecosystem and forcing others to join through social pressure. Profit always wins. Apple was only recently forced to cut their bullshit and allow RCS between Apple and Android.
@@privatename7634android apps have had rcs for many years and use encrypted messaging. And if your not happy with the security of default messaging app android lets you easily replace it which another app. Apple DOES NOT allow you to choose your default messaging app they force you to use theirs, and despite having the ability to use rcs apple downgrades messages going between iOS and android to sms. The whole “green bubble” situation is purposefully caused by apple to make android phones appear worse.
Exactly, at least the Chinese won't come knocking on our doors, firing us from our jobs, and freezing our bank accounts if we say something anti-septic or something. Meanwhile our government can do exactly that to us Americans.
It LITERALLY only poses risk because Apple reluctantly gave iOS the ability to text android over WiFi (RCS) and then they gimped it by not implementing google's encryption layer.
Actually, the story said this happened BEFORE apple began implementing RCS. Second, the encryption on RCS is not part of the official RCS standard. It’s a modification, I believe created by google. The committee that sets the basic RCS standard could fix it instead of sitting on their hands & hoping everyone adopts the google version.
@@CynthiePompey9999 at first i thought it was sarcasm until I've read your pass comments thought maybe it's more saracam. Then used a app that reads all your past comments ever on TH-cam. How could you be so submissive too the government. Are you in some kinda insane cult

As an iPhone user I was super disappointed when Apple allowed us to finally use RCS on iOS 18 yet didn’t implement the fact that it could be end to end encrypted. Such a waste of a release and shows that they/users prioritize having reactions and read receipts over end to end encryption.
The only private communication is mouth, whispered into ear. In the Godfather II, Michael had a conversation with Hyman Roth, mouth to ear with the TV turned up loud in case there were any bugs planted in Roth's home. And that was late 50s.
In the late 50s they didn't have parabolic microphones pushing audio into DAWs with AI digital fliteration, eq, and noise reduction that can parse out human voices from other sounds and give you a clean and clear isolated recording of them. We do now. Just ask Dweezil.
@@buzzardluck I'm well aware of the frightening little skills that science has made available with regard to surveillance, but are you saying that if someone whispers directly into someone's ear, with loud noise around them, such equipment can discern the human voice?
@Frankie_Zappa Yes. With just what's available for audio (and video, which is me) pros; like the Waves Clarity noise reduction filter; which utilizes AI trained to recognize and extract human voices (as an option, you can also set it to extract music minus noise) it's freaking incredible what you can do with it. It will also boost the gain and keep removing any inherent noise floor so you can take a low dB whisper and push it up to loud and crystal clear studio quality sounding audio. I know audio engineers that have a lot more AI enhanced tools for audio than me and I imagine the three letter folks have even better software, even real-time capabilities, not just post processing, like we audio/video people are doing. Man, Frank would love what you can do in a studios these days. No limits at all.
No one should be texting personal information but other than that what really are the Chinese government going to do with ordinary Americans text messages??
it's never been a "better"time to collect massive amounts of seemingly innocuous information and use it to exploit any emerging patterns.

I can't believe y'all acknowledged android users exist. Crazy times in 2024. RCS encryption should have been a thing years ago across different platforms, but apple and the carriers decided to drag their feet.
@Themiddleman416 True, but a lot of iphone users are refusing to update to ios 18 because it's so buggy. The only way to get the RCS is to upgrade to iOS 18. My original point still stands, this should've happen years ago.
@iLuseMy1v1s Apple is overrated. Great in some ways, but nothing more that's going to make me pay for a $500/$1000 phone, which is ludicrous and insane. I remember the first IPhone released for $600 back in 2006. Since then there hasn't been a big deal for me to buy a new one all the time or yearly.
Good thing they’ve both adapted RCS to replace sms. All you need to do is activate it on your phone. 🤦🏻♂️ people giving the news don’t know wtf they’re talking about.
Derp. I did not hear of any problem with iPhone users talking to each other through iMessage (blue bubbles). The problem arises when we have to communicate with green bubble people. 😅
@@TBolt1 Messages sent between two Apple gadgets are encrypted, as are messages sent between users of Google Messages. But those between Android and Apple devices are not and that's because apple and the carries decided to drag their feet on RCS encryption
@@TBolt1 Its because Apple purposely creates those "problems", look at RCS and how they refuse to encrypt it. Just them adopting RCS took years to do and it wasn't until nothing decided to make an app to solve the "green bubble" along with getting an antitrust did they finally budge. I find it insane how you guys can't even customize the colour of a text bubble. Thats why you have the term "green bubble" in the first place.
Compared to their Android equivalents, most iPhones have had several _giga-bites_ taken out of their storage... 😋 $499,- Android: 256GB storage. $499,- iPhone: 64GB... 😉 Still; The EU had one GB 🇬🇧 of space freed up a few years back. And boy, are those of us in the UK feeling it! 😳
@ yeah so everyone because, IPhone and Android are the only 2 options. As far as “modern western civilization” goes. And most people know someone and text someone who uses the opposition
Typical journalists these days, ill informed on anything that isn't journalism, so science and technology are magic and hence, everything is funny. They'd not know an MMS server from a cell phone, even after I crushed their foot with the server.
This is all Apple and Tim Cook's fault. Instead of implementing RCS and the correct version of it earlier, they tried to use the green bubble thing to force people to choose iphone.
@Rtd2870 imessage is only between 2 iphones. Messaging between an iPhone and an Android uses sms or a unencrypted version of RCS because of Apple's nonsensical refusal to adopt industry standards

In other words, NSA is going to hack our phone. Then blame someone else
What's new
Yes!!!
NSA can read Whatsapp and Signal if they want to.
Facts, they have a history or blame the other guy of what we are doing
@@oliverheaviside2539what about space x 😂 you guys are talking nonsense
To set the record straight, RCS Messaging supports End To End Encryption and while Google implemented Encryption for use on Android, Apple elected NOT to on iPhone. Apple can still fix this.
FBI: I’m from the government and I’m here to help. Not on time, but I’m here.
And not to help you. But I’m here.
@@roshinvarghese6879😂😂
SMS has always been insecure. You know what would solve the issue? Apple not being pricks and actually adding encryption to their RCS support. Apple could literally solve this issue by playing ball with Google to use RCS proper.
Apple works with china that's why
They won't unless forced to
It's always been Apple keeping texting between OS in the stone age. The crazy part is to this day people still believe Android is the problem. 🙄😂
I have a Z Fold 5 so my RCS already comes with the encryption layer
@@CobaN9newasn’t android the problem up until 2019?
Remember Edward Snowden, the NSA has access to our camera which is worse
I put black tape over it like Edward did, I even put tape on the cameras at the store at the self check out.
Facts
LOL No way they recommending to use whatsapp, when the whole military was told not to use it back in 2019 due to Chinese hackers stealing information off these apps.
And who owns WhatsApp? Isn’t is Zuckerberg? Please no one’s trusting WhatsApp.
Good way to test reaction and see what the public will seek when fearful for their privacy… therefore finding where dissidents will hide
Reporter didn’t know what she was talking about. She also recommended using “Telegraph” a messaging app that doesn’t exist. Along with saying you would be safe on a voice call even though voice calls are no encrypted and there has been countless stories in the news lately about people scamming using AI voices that mimic relatives of the target.
@@CoercedJab To do what? Take them out?
Yeah, I almost had to rewind that myself.
What will Chinese do with our hacked messages that American corporations aren’t doing selling our info?
Exactly. This is yet another deliberate effort to distort perceptions and sow hostility toward the Chinese people.
Exactly 😂🤷🏾♀️
Xi wants to read them
Search Cambridge Analytica. They will and already do use the data to manipulate our politics, beliefs, day to day lives, etc. They aren’t trying to make money off us. They are trying to weaken and control us, so they can make their global moves freely
Good point
I have nobody to text. Therefore, I’m safe. The end.

Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :)
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:9-13 KJV
“and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
Mark 1:15 KJV
If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on TH-cam and a TH-cam channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.*
God Bless :)
Honestly, I feel more insecure at the fact that the NSA has been doing this to US citizens for years, illegally! I'm more worried about that than anything. Stop the fear mongering about China!
If the FBI knew this last summer, why are we finding this out only 24 hours ago?
Just b/c they said it occurred this summer, doesn't mean they immediately knew about it when it happened.
The FBI needed time to log all the stolen text messages that were supposedly stolen from the Chinese.. For the safety of our private text messages. 😂
Because it's not their job to let you know, it's up to the cell phone company that was breached and entirely didn't inform you.
Hell, it's still not their job to notify you, they did you a solid and you're bitching about it. Maybe next time, they'll just save the bitching and not tell anyone but the companies involved, which is all they're required to do by law.
Now, ask yourself why there aren't laws requiring the companies involved to let their customers know that their messaging traffic is compromised?

I went a step further, I use morse code now. Mr. bell is rolling over in his grave.
@JoyL351 yup, especially the new generation. They don't even know how to talk on the phone.
The reason sms is still a thing is because of apple. Android to Android uses rcs with encryption while apple refuses to get on board because they want to isolate their users.
Apple has enabled RCS with iOS 18
Android to android is not encrypted

Apple should absolutely be catching heat for this. It's largely their fault for insisting on forcing any communication outside of their ecosystem of devices to use an archaic and outdated format that was created over thirty years ago - despite more modern and safer alternatives existing for years.
Bro Apple is secure. It’s Android that isn’t and now it’s obvious to normal people. Apple doesn’t force others Apple makes a better system.
@@privatename7634 you very clearly don't understand what you're talking about. Please inform yourself. Google and the major carriers wanted to take messaging off of SMS years ago, or at the very least migrate the majority of users to RCS. But Apple wanted to keep their imessage experience exclusive and force the use of SMS when communicating to non-iphone users. All for the sake of keeping people in the Apple ecosystem and forcing others to join through social pressure. Profit always wins. Apple was only recently forced to cut their bullshit and allow RCS between Apple and Android.
It’s Google’s fault for not moving to RCS sooner
@@privatename7634well, iOS just moved to RCS. Should have been a long time ago. We need to make America again!
@@privatename7634android apps have had rcs for many years and use encrypted messaging. And if your not happy with the security of default messaging app android lets you easily replace it which another app. Apple DOES NOT allow you to choose your default messaging app they force you to use theirs, and despite having the ability to use rcs apple downgrades messages going between iOS and android to sms. The whole “green bubble” situation is purposefully caused by apple to make android phones appear worse.
Meanwhile, at the NSA...
What if the government protected the citizens?
hahahahaha!
In that scenario you’d be living in Russia or China…The United States Government is the worst enemy of U.S. citizens.
Then corporations would be forced to pay their own bills and the rich elite would have to live off just 1 million dollars a year not billions 😂😂😂
No chance now that Trump is taking over.
Don't be ridiculous. Why would they want to do something stupid like that? 😆
Oh hell nah!!! What the hell are we even doing 😢
I’m more worried about The US Gov spitting on my phone that the Chinese.
That the Chinese what?
I don’t want any government entity spitting on my phone either - that’s just nasty
Exactly, at least the Chinese won't come knocking on our doors, firing us from our jobs, and freezing our bank accounts if we say something anti-septic or something. Meanwhile our government can do exactly that to us Americans.
If you spit on my phone, you win, you can have it
@@stevebabiak6997 The gals from DomsRus is fine though.............
I'm more concerned about what the U.S. government and our corporations can see than about what the Chinese can.
If only there was a messaging protocol that Google has made available to everyone that apple refused to use for years...
This. Apple doesn't care about security as much as selling more iPhones and locking people in
I think RCS is standard between androids and iOS now?
@@caldersheagrenApple didn't adopt the encryption standard when sending to non Apple users, that's why this hole exists
Ohh nooo! 😱 The Chinese might have found out about my D&D character! 🤣
If you are talking, the FBI can eavesdrop on your calls. We are so screwed.
Like they can't read your TH-cam comments...lol.

It LITERALLY only poses risk because Apple reluctantly gave iOS the ability to text android over WiFi (RCS) and then they gimped it by not implementing google's encryption layer.
I have an android so i have the encryption layer that came with it when android 14 came out
Apple is so annoying
Actually, the story said this happened BEFORE apple began implementing RCS. Second, the encryption on RCS is not part of the official RCS standard. It’s a modification, I believe created by google. The committee that sets the basic RCS standard could fix it instead of sitting on their hands & hoping everyone adopts the google version.
Don't text is only for government employees, it is not for the average person.
@@CynthiePompey9999 at first i thought it was sarcasm until I've read your pass comments thought maybe it's more saracam. Then used a app that reads all your past comments ever on TH-cam. How could you be so submissive too the government. Are you in some kinda insane cult
What level of government employees are we talking!??? Because there are plenty of government employees who work lower grade level jobs like cooks, food service, and working in a commissary on a military base as a cashier or baker…. Even civilians are allowed to apply for those jobs !

TLAs likely pushed to mandate telecoms providers to build the back doors that hackers now use.
Time to show some integrity and have nothing to hide or be ashamed of, because there's no privacy online. Get your lives together and live as if you were always on camera 📷
As an iPhone user I was super disappointed when Apple allowed us to finally use RCS on iOS 18 yet didn’t implement the fact that it could be end to end encrypted. Such a waste of a release and shows that they/users prioritize having reactions and read receipts over end to end encryption.
The only private communication is mouth, whispered into ear.
In the Godfather II, Michael had a conversation with Hyman Roth, mouth to ear with the TV turned up loud in case there were any bugs planted in Roth's home. And that was late 50s.
In the late 50s they didn't have parabolic microphones pushing audio into DAWs with AI digital fliteration, eq, and noise reduction that can parse out human voices from other sounds and give you a clean and clear isolated recording of them. We do now. Just ask Dweezil.
@@buzzardluck
I'm well aware of the frightening little skills that science has made available with regard to surveillance, but are you saying that if someone whispers directly into someone's ear, with loud noise around them, such equipment can discern the human voice?

@@scrat8177
Hence my username. Been a fan since 1975. Arf arf!
@Frankie_Zappa Yes. With just what's available for audio (and video, which is me) pros; like the Waves Clarity noise reduction filter; which utilizes AI trained to recognize and extract human voices (as an option, you can also set it to extract music minus noise) it's freaking incredible what you can do with it. It will also boost the gain and keep removing any inherent noise floor so you can take a low dB whisper and push it up to loud and crystal clear studio quality sounding audio. I know audio engineers that have a lot more AI enhanced tools for audio than me and I imagine the three letter folks have even better software, even real-time capabilities, not just post processing, like we audio/video people are doing.
Man, Frank would love what you can do in a studios these days. No limits at all.

No one should be texting personal information but other than that what really are the Chinese government going to do with ordinary Americans text messages??
it's never been a "better"time to collect massive amounts of seemingly innocuous information and use it to exploit any emerging patterns.
China, the US, and other countries have been running disinformation campaigns for many years now; to have an intimate understanding of how a collective thinks, might be one of those most powerful bits of knowledge one could have...
blackmail?
China, if you’re listening…read my texts 讀我的文字
I wonder if this is why Verizon rolled out RCS messaging so quickly and under the radar...
So basically, continue texting like normal and make sure not to use third-party apps. Got it.
I can't believe y'all acknowledged android users exist. Crazy times in 2024. RCS encryption should have been a thing years ago across different platforms, but apple and the carriers decided to drag their feet.
What is better than a Android phone
@Jprince473 Nothing imo, but the majority of news outlets only include Apple related issues.
Apples fully integrated it, only people that don’t have it, are those using budget cell providers. All the big name carriers have activated it.
@Themiddleman416 True, but a lot of iphone users are refusing to update to ios 18 because it's so buggy. The only way to get the RCS is to upgrade to iOS 18. My original point still stands, this should've happen years ago.
@iLuseMy1v1s Apple is overrated. Great in some ways, but nothing more that's going to make me pay for a $500/$1000 phone, which is ludicrous and insane. I remember the first IPhone released for $600 back in 2006. Since then there hasn't been a big deal for me to buy a new one all the time or yearly.
What a lame reasons.. If Chinese can sees it, guess what? So the US.. 😅
Who is NOT on iphone or Android ???????
What happened to the cybersecurity professionals?
The new American way: the bare minimum is good enough. That's what.
Good thing they’ve both adapted RCS to replace sms. All you need to do is activate it on your phone. 🤦🏻♂️ people giving the news don’t know wtf they’re talking about.
Just a paid mouthpiece
Just a paid mouthpiece is all journalists are anymore, no integrity anywhere in sight, all for entertainment value, nothing more...
Unfortunately, the version of RCS that Apple has adopted is not end to end encrypted yet. Hopefully, this will push Apple to expedite that process.

@@TBolt1 Messages sent between two Apple gadgets are encrypted, as are messages sent between users of Google Messages. But those between Android and Apple devices are not and that's because apple and the carries decided to drag their feet on RCS encryption
@@TBolt1 Its because Apple purposely creates those "problems", look at RCS and how they refuse to encrypt it. Just them adopting RCS took years to do and it wasn't until nothing decided to make an app to solve the "green bubble" along with getting an antitrust did they finally budge.

iMessage is encrypted
@Rtd2870 imessage is only between 2 iphones. Messaging between an iPhone and an Android uses sms or a unencrypted version of RCS because of Apple's nonsensical refusal to adopt industry standards
