We immediately flagged Sunbird as a company that had been making empty promises for almost a year and seemed negligent about security.
The initial sales pitch for this app—that it would log you into iMessage on Android if you handed over your Apple username and password—was a huge security red flag that meant Sunbird would need an ultra-secure infrastructure to avoid disaster.
Both 9to5Google and Text.com (which is owned by Automattic, the company behind WordPress) uncovered shockingly bad security practices.
Text.com released a proof-of-concept app that could fetch your supposedly end-to-end encrypted messages from Sunbird’s servers.
Batuhan Içöz, a product engineer for Text.com, also released a tool that will delete some of your data from Sunbird’s servers.
Içöz reccomends that any Sunbird/Nothing Chat users change their Apple IDs now, revoke Sunbird’s session, and “Assume your data is already compromised.”
