Why Indian Air Force Asks Personnel Not To Use Chinese Xiaomi Redmi 1S & Mi3 Phone?
Cheap and best concept totally fit for Chinese company Xiaomi. After launching their models (Redmi 1S and Mi3) in India, got huge success. Now planning for other models also. But The Indian Air Force, in an alert issued to IAF personnel and their family members, claimed that Xiaomi smartphones are sending private user data like carrier name, phone number, IMEI also numbers from the address book and text messages to remote servers located in China.
They got this information through “F-secure“. It is the one of the top security solution company, they carried out a test and found these results.
This was the only truth behind this suggestion by IAF. Actually its not safe for those who are related to the army and their family members. I don’t understand why people are not getting the points.
- Remember when you use GMAIL, Yahoo, Facebook, your data is transferred to US servers which is accessed by all the security agencies without your permission. FB Google and other ad servers track you through cookies placed in your pc/mobile without your permission. So, its not a big deal if your data is stored in xiaomi servers in China.
- Icloud /ASUS/Microsoft web Storage/ Iphone servers are also located at various places all over the world, So if someone is using web server that means he is allowed his data to store at cloud.
- Indian Govt uses normal gmail for official communication, even PMO uses it, whose data are stored in US servers. Recently Indian govt thought of using the Indian mail system.
- An air Force warning is of no importance to common man, and is meant for Air Force personals and their family members.Your data is already in US, UK, Singapore servers accessed by many agencies without your permission. DON’t worry about that.
