Last Tuesday, Nothing Chats-a chat app from Android manufacturer 'Nothing' and upstart app company Sunbird-brazenly claimed to be able to hack into Apple's iMessage protocol and give Android users blue bubbles.
Not only was the app not end-to-end encrypted, as claimed numerous times by Nothing and Sunbird, but Sunbird actually logged and stored messages in plain text on both the error reporting software Sentry and in a Firebase store.
The app launched Friday anyway and was immediately ripped to shreds by the Internet for many security issues. It didn't last 24 hours before Nothing pulled the app from the Play Store Saturday morning.
