Amazon Secretly Removes Encryption Protection From All Its Devices
While the FBI and Apple continue to fight in court over encryption and public privacy, Amazon has discreetly disabled encryption on all of its products so that consumers are no longer able to protect their data on Android-powered devices. Amazon has ceased its support for device encryption on the latest version of Fire OS – an operating system used to power its tablets and phones – leaving them open for the government and hackers to easily access user data.
