After reverse engineering all of the Beijing2022 spyware app for ios and Android I can definitively say all Olympian audio is being collected, analyzed and saved on Chinese servers using tech from USA blacklisted AI firm
Third party apps can`t just "monitor for keywords" without triggering the iOS / Android 12 microphone privacy indicator. I think we need more clarification here.
This point needs more explaining. I thought there was a chip in iphones that listens for the one keyword and only after it hears it can an app be allowed access to the mic and iOS will show the dot. Are you saying the app can straight up record audio with no dot?
@Apple The Chinese Organizers admit that all the personal information they collect is held in China...but yet...Jan 22nd "Data was not being collected", and The most current data policy in the iOS app store negates itself Id like to know how pls. I thought only Siri was allowed to check for keywords without explicitly opening the microphone (and showing that orange dot), not third-parties apps
so basically this is a speech-to-text function, like Siri or Alexa?
@Apple This is the privacy policy that app users are required to agree to. It vaguely states that "voice information" is collected by iFlytek, and does not go into detail. Furthermore, the apple app store requires developers to disclose what is being collected So the US government never spies on Americans? FreeAssange
Thank you very much for digging out the undeniable evidences of the CCP regimes spy app !
augurs more caution needed than we already exercise
It can`t get any closer to Orwell here...
Something for to dig into right away.
bro just run strings next time its faster
@Apple One more article about iflytek`s always-listening technology From 2020 written by "Alexa can tell you the weather. Siri knows a few jokes. In China, voice-computing company iFlytek built similar smart assistants beloved by users. But its tech is also helping the government listen in." What is this app for? Is it for athletes for scheduling and such when they`re at the event and in the Olympic Village?
Jumping hard on that bandwagon I see.
What if you remove all the permissions?
Why is this allowed on the App Store?
Could it be that the app is just including the 3rd party library file from iflytek which contains those functions, but are not used? Do you have more evidence how those API calls are actually used?
Hope people are reporting this to Apple
You posted this on the GitHub, may I ask why this particular screenshot of what appears to be data from an input form be so nefarious to you? Hows does the App Store not detect this during their audits?
Keep smearing, attacking... the only way U.S. may defeat it`s enemies... Keep smearing, attacking... Whatever it takes, keep smearing, attacking... Keep smearing, attacking... the only way U.S. may defeat it`s enemies... Does this mean the orange mic light is always on if you install this or is apple unable to detect the recording?
very legal and very cool
cool and normal!
Cc thought you guys might find this interesting
Not surprised. Great work.
Good work Jonathan
Thank you for your work on this
NatalieRebecca had the privilege of listening to Jonathan yesterday via Twitter spaces, hosted by the incredible Alberto Thank you Alberto
The code for validation and research can be found in my github repo here Good Im not in New York or Toronto lol
Hey Jonathan what is going on with discord API right now and why major outages servers located in the same place that the major banks and hedge funds?
