Apple has denied the words of an expert in the field of computer security, Jonathan Zdziarski, who declared in the presence of iOS-devices bookmarks designed to collect information about users. According to California-based company, we are talking about the diagnostic services, not related to the NSA.
"We have developed iOS so that diagnostic functions do not compromise the safety and user data while passing all the necessary information managers in corporations, developers and Apple to solve technical problems.
Users must first unlock the device and confirm that they trust the computer before the data transfer happens. People also need to confirm that they agree to send information.Information is sent without their consent, "- said in a commentary Corporation publication Financial Times.
In Apple added that the company had never worked with government agencies for creating backdoors in their own products or services.
Recall that a hacker Zdziarski, who actively participated in the development of the first jailbreak for the iPhone models and the author of several books on application development, said that 600 million mobile Apple, in service around the world, contain "undocumented services running in the background" as well as "suspicious omissions in design iOS, which facilitate the collection of data."
Zdziarski told in details about the services and com.apple.pcapd com.apple.mobile.file_relay, which allegedly are able to extract user data bypassing the encryption function and transmit information from the device on request.
