ICYMI: A new Citizen Lab report finds vulnerabilities in the security of cloud-based pinyin keyboard apps from vendors Baidu, Honor, iFlytek, OPPO, Samsung, Tencent, Vivo, and Xiaomi. These eight apps contained vulnerabilities that could be exploited to reveal everything a user types. Having your keystrokes intercepted is a huge privacy and security risk. This puts up to a billion people who use these apps at risk, including people who live in China and diaspora users across the world, and others. We urge all users of Sogou, Baidu, and iFlytek keyboards to update their apps and OSes immediately, turn off "cloud prediction" capabilities, or switch to a different keyboard altogether.
