A digital forensics company in Russia, Elcomsoft, claims that your iPhone sends your call history to Apple and this only happens when you enable iCloud on your device. What might piss you off is the fact that the data — which contains a list of calls made and received as well as the dates, times, call duration and entire phone numbers, plus your Facetime’s voice and video calls — gets uploaded without notifying users or even giving them a choice. Apple
, in turn, retains the data for up to 4 months before it gets deleted.
This might not be a big deal until you remember the FBI issue. Plus, all a hacker needs to get your data are your iCloud’s login/password details and applications like Elcomsoft’s extraction tool.
So what did Apple have to say about the situation?
“We offer, call history syncing as a convenience to our customers so that they can return calls from any of their devices. Apple is deeply committed to safeguarding our customers’ data. That’s why we give our customers the ability to keep their data private. Device data is encrypted with a user’s passcode, and access to iCloud data including backups requires the user’s Apple ID and password. Apple recommends all customers select strong passwords and use two-factor authentication.
What can you do to protect yourself (Not from Apple, though)?
You need to enable two-factor authentication for your Apple ID.
Thinking about it, I think I’d still prefer Apple having my data than Google because we all know what Google does with the insight they glean from our data.
