Even Apple, Google and Meta cannot access user content that\u2019s end-to-end encrypted on their platforms. But the FBI actually referred to \u201cresponsibly managed encryption,\u201d which implies some form of lawful access.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The key advice is simple. Don\u2019t use basic network text messaging\u2014including RCS, where those texts are not fully encrypted. This rules out Apple\u2019s new RCS option for messaging Androids, albeit when messaging within iMessage (to other Apple users) or within Google Messages (to other Android users) is secure.<\/p>\n<p>While messaging generated most of the headlines following the FBI and CISA warnings, it applies to calls as well. Most cellular calls are not fully encrypted and are at risk of interception whether lawful or otherwise. It\u2019s network dependent. Using a platform like WhatsApp or Signal, or FaceTime on iPhones, resolves this. While such calling remains unusual in the US and most of Europe, travel around Asia or Africa and you\u2019ll see many users default to secure calling given distrust of networks.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you do now? Fortunately, timing is everything here. And Apple is about to release iOS 18.2, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/10\/23\/apples-iphone-16-pro-and-ios-182-upgrade-surprise-bad-news-for-google\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/10\/23\/apples-iphone-16-pro-and-ios-182-upgrade-surprise-bad-news-for-google\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/10\/23\/apples-iphone-16-pro-and-ios-182-upgrade-surprise-bad-news-for-google\/\" aria-label=\"which for the first time enables iPhone users to change their default messaging and calling apps\" rel=\"noopener\">which for the first time enables iPhone users to change their default messaging and calling apps<\/a>.

My suggestion is to use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, albeit Signal or any other fully encrypted app will do the job. Those are two separate settings\u2014one for messages and one for calls. You need to change both. The Default Apps menu option will be available in Settings after updating to iOS 18.2.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI\u2019s warning that substantial metadata was stolen in China\u2019s hack of US networks is critical. That metadata means who you know, who you call, when you call them, and for how long, it\u2019s the same metadata available to Meta and others, and can be provided to law enforcement on lawful request. It is not captured by some platforms, such as Signal, in the same way. That said, unless you\u2019re in an especially sensitive or high-risk job or location, this is a much less serious risk than content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/12\/05\/fbi-hacking-warning-change-2-settings-on-your-iphone\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FBI\u2019s new warning comes as China hacks US networks Getty Images In a surprising twist, the FBI\u2014alongside CISA\u2014has suddenly warned iPhone and Android users to use encrypted messaging and calls &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=133646\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-133646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=133646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133646\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=133646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=133646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=133646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
