Nothing Chats app removed after shocking security flaws revealed

Nothing

Nothing and Sunbird withdrew their insecure iMessage bridge after it was revealed that Sunbird not only logged and stored messages, vCards, and other data but also allowed others to download the user data. The app raised suspicions within days for its apparent lack of encryption and its use of plaintext HTTP to send login credentials over the internet.

Android app developer Dylan Roussel discovered some alarming facts about the app that showed how unsafe it was for its users. In a thread, Roussel claimed that Sunbird had access to every message and file sent through the app and that Nothing Chats did not use end-to-end encryption at all.

Google Home app adds search feature for Wi-Fi devices

The Google Home app has a new search feature that lets you easily find the Wi-Fi devices on your network. You can access this feature by going to the Wifi page and tapping on the Devices page. There, you will see a “Search for devices” bar at the top. As you type, the app will show you the devices that match your query. You can see both online and offline devices. This feature is useful because the device list can change frequently depending on the “Real time” sort option.

With a search, you can quickly find the device you are looking for. The Wi-Fi device search feature is available on Google Home 3.9 for Android. We don’t know when it will come to iOS. We also hope that Google will add a similar feature to the Devices tab and the Automations list, where it can be hard to find the right device among many smart home gadgets. The Favorites option helps, but it is not enough.
