EDRM Trusted Partner, HaystackID's John Wilson, CTCE, FDACS, Chief Information Security Officer and President of Forensics, along with Rene Novoa, CCLO, CCPA, CJED, Vice President of Forensics, recently made a fascinating discovery related to Apple's iOS. This discovery brings attention to a commonly overlooked issue: the control of data syncing on Apple devices. The discovery coincided with Apple's keynote announcement of iOS 18, which included the integration of OpenAI and ChatGPT and introduced enhanced security features. While these advancements are exciting, they also revealed potential risks in critical areas such as privacy and security. Despite disabling syncing, the data persisted on other devices, even after logging out and back in. The authors recommend thorough testing of new features to prevent unintended dissemination of messages.
