Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook discussed user data security at a meeting on Wednesday with a top Chinese government official in Beijing, the official Xinhua news agency reported. At a meeting on Wednesday in Zhongnanhai, the Beijing complex housing China’s central government, Cook and Vice Premier Ma Kai exchanged views on “protection of users’ information” as well as “strengthening cooperation and in information and communication fields,” according to Xinhua.
Conform celor de la Reuters, Tim Cook a discutat cu vicepremierul Ma Kai despre modalitati prin care informatiile personale ale utilizatorilor pot fi protejate, dar si despre cum poate fi imbunatatita cooperare dintre companie si guvern. Desigur ca nimeni nu stie exact la ce acord au ajuns cei doi, insa compania Apple a inceput inca de zilele trecute sa redirectioneze utilizatorii iCloud catre alte servere pentru a ii proteja impotriva atacurilor initiate de guvern.
Chiar daca China nu va recunoaste oficial ca a incercat sa fure parole si username-uri ale utilizatorilor iCloud, faptul ca Tim Cook a zburat in China pentru a discuta cu vicepremierul despre aceasta problema confirma identitatea atacatorului.
