Tell HN: Spectrum iOS app using info on MacBook's clipboard

3 pointsby kmundnicabout 4 years ago
I was chatting to a Spectrum representative today through the MySpectrum iOS app due to low upload speeds. The representative asked where I was running the speed tests of the link they provided, and <i>after</i> I typed MacBook on the chat app, <i>hundreds</i> of warning messages started showing up due to the app copying information from my MacBook&#x27;s clipboard.<p>I was aware of this issue with certain apps in iOS (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gadgets&#x2F;2020&#x2F;06&#x2F;tiktok-and-53-other-ios-apps-still-snoop-your-sensitive-clipboard-data&#x2F;), but I hadn&#x27;t read about this happening between devices.

Apple&#x27;s Universal Clipboard is probably the culprit.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.apple.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;HT209460" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.apple.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;HT209460</a>
