Comment on China claims it has cracked Apple Airdrop’s encryption to identify senders | CNN Business
jonne@infosec.pub 8 months agoThat’s what I meant as it being useless now for that purpose. Unless there’s designated dissent areas or times, that strategy just won’t work any more (and if you have to be ‘in the know’ to enable it, you’re not recruiting/convincing any new people).

I curious why China still cares about it. It seems like it would be hard for to spread info around on it now.
That said, if they still care about it, there must be some sort of use case that scares them.

Or they tasked a team with cracking it, they finally got a result and decided to announce it regardless, even if it is moot because the economic pressure on Apple worked.
