Nothing Chats, a rival to apps like Beeper and AirMessage, advertised itself as a secure platform for sending messages to iMessage users.
However, less than 24 hours after its launch, investigations into the app revealed that Nothing Chats logged every message in plain text and stored unencrypted data, including text messages, images, videos, and more, making it a significant privacy and security risk.
The company removed the app from the Play Store following these complaints, citing “several bugs” that need fixing.
I mean it’s Carl Pei, right? He’s always done stuff to get attention his products one way or another.
All Pei did was put a Nothing skin on Sunbird. It was Sunbird that didn’t encrypt the comms.
That said, Pei was so damn thirsty for marketing attention that Nothing obviously didn’t fully vet the security around Sunbird’s product.
He should have choose a better product. Is Beeper better than Sunbird?
Bro, Pei Wei had this BOGO deal. I would eat them almost everyday, except one visit got me more food than I could finish in a day.
Those drunken noodles.
Those firecracker chicken.
Mmm.
Haven’t been since they removed the deal, lol.
