Apple removes Advanced Data Protection for UK users – what it means for you
- Apple has removed Advanced Data Protection (ADP) for UK users, following pressure from the government seeking access to encrypted data.
- ADP provided the highest level of iCloud data protection through end-to-end encryption, but Apple disabled it for existing and new UK users.
- The decision raises concerns about data security, privacy, and the implications of weakening encryption for user data.
- Apple remains firm on not creating backdoors or master keys and will no longer offer ADP in the UK.
- Existing ADP users in the UK will have access until it is disabled in the future, affecting the security of iCloud Drive and backups.
- Cyber security experts warn of potential data breaches and global repercussions due to weakening encryption for government access.
- Google and Samsung offer their own security features, but concerns persist over privacy implications and access to encrypted data.
- As data protection evolves, the removal of ADP emphasizes the struggle between government demands and user privacy.
- UK businesses and individuals are advised to enhance security measures like 2FA, strong passwords, and stay updated on data protection laws.
