Will Safari leak user privacy? Apple official: to better protect user privacy The editor would like to ask you a question. What was the reason for choosing Apple phones? "Good performance?", "Long use time?", "Independent system?", "High value preservation?" ......Or "High secrecy?"
However, there has been such an incident on Apple mobile phones recently-"Safari will leak user privacy?" Recently, someone found a note about "deceptive website warning" in the Safari settings of Apple devices, which wrote:
check whether the website is a fraudulent website. These safe browsing providers may record Your IP address."
This move also raises concerns about whether Safari will leak user privacy. In particular, in addition to recording the IP address, the safe browsing provider can obtain the specific webpage address the user browses through this detection behavior.
Apple responded in an official statement: "Apple protects users’ privacy and data through the Safari Fraudulent Website Warning. This feature flags websites that are malicious in nature. After enabling this feature, Safari will The list of known websites checks the website URL and displays a warning (if URL) that the website the user is visiting is suspected of fraud, such as phishing.
In order to achieve such a function, Safari received a list of known malicious websites from Google. For devices whose region code is set to mainland China, the security service provider will be Tencent.
The actual URL of the website visited by the user is never shared with a secure browsing provider, and the user can choose to turn off this feature. "
In fact, since iOS 11, Apple has begun to introduce third-party safe browsing providers to improve the "Safari fraudulent website warning." This feature is turned on by default, and you can turn it off in "Settings> Safari> Safari Fraudulent Website Warning".
In addition to the above we need to close Safari, we also need to close the following two functions.
1. Setting up important locations
We click on the settings and select the privacy button, there is a location service under the secondary menu, pull down to find the system service option, and then we can see the button for important locations, just turn it off.
2. Permission of software location
When we open certain software or pages, we will always remind you whether to allow the use of location information. You must choose carefully at this time. Privacy issues cannot be ignored. Finally, the editor still wants to ask you, why did you choose Apple mobile phones in the first place?
