All gadgets can be “subjected” to manufacturing companies in one way or another, so you should not store particularly valuable information on the devices, for example, government secrets. About this in the broadcast of the TV channel “360” said Evgeniy Baklushin, USSB Head of Audit and Information Security Compliance. This is how he interpreted the latest news that Russian presidential administration employees were instructed to get rid of iPhone smartphones.
“Both iPhones and Android devices can be completely submissive to their manufacturers. Any smartphone sends information about its user to the parent company, but in the vast majority of cases, you’re unknown to it, just user 1539568496,” he said.
He added that it is not profitable for manufacturers to equip devices with special surveillance chips in the hope that the right person will get the right smartphone. However, according to the expert, every gadget transmits some information of the user, including location.
Previously, the newspaper Kommersant, citing various sources reportedEmployees of the internal political bloc of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation were instructed to get rid of iPhone smartphones by April 1 this year for security reasons.
But then the press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov declarationUnable to verify information about iPhone ban.
