: "- We analyzed Tencent’s Sogou Input Method, which, with over 450 million monthly active users, is the most popular Chinese input method in China.
- Analyzing the Windows, Android, and iOS versions of the software, we discovered troubling vulnerabilities in Sogou Input Method’s custom-designed “EncryptWall” encryption system and in how it encrypts sensitive data.
- We found that network transmissions containing sensitive data such as those containing users’ keystrokes are decipherable by a network eavesdropper, revealing what users are typing as they type.
- We disclosed these vulnerabilities to Sogou developers, who released fixed versions of the affected software as of July 20, 2023 (Windows version 13.7, Android version 11.26, and iOS version 11.25).
- These findings underscore the importance for software developers in China to use well-supported encryption implementations such as TLS instead of attempting to custom design their own."

Yup. is so far from and in terms of technical infrastructure and stability, that the notion is laughable at the moment

Then of course there is the need to actually spend money to make that happen. Since is now private we really don’t have a sense of it’s financial state. Anecdotally, it’s burning through cash.

I’m guessing the that invested in the takeover are going to be wary of ponying up more cash

Wonder does this acquisition "increase competition" too like the / fanboys would have us believe 's acquisition of ABK would have us believe. Regulators need to start really scrutinising every acquisition attempt in the industry
