Privacy compromised in using the new Gmail for iOS

Posted by rahulgolwalkar on Tuesday January 03, 2017 @04:42AM
from the self-post dept.

With the latest redesign of the Gmail iOS app, we cannot disable read receipts to the sender as Gmail for iOS loads all the external images and the delivery pixel.There is no way to disable the same on the iOS app.Don't understand why has Gmail made such a decision

Re:Pros and Cons in Using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) on Sunday August 21, 2016 @11:06PM (#12333849)
Hey Wetwiper, i like your Nickname :) thanks for the review :-) 1. Yeah, I do understand the working of JWT and Signatures, it was made in a simpler format for naive first time users. There is no security flaw in that 2. Yeah, you are right in a way, but I have seen people do it in case of JWT, as they store the User-id there as well 3. Hahaha.. that's a DB lookup, you loose ;-) 4. I don't understand how multiple would work. Well, as for your "insecure methods" comment, I have a classic example of employees leaving the Tech team. And as for Signing algorithm you can never say anything. A few years back MD5 was considered most secure and could not be broken and used in every Digital Signature. Now there are websites that generate the text based on the HASH value.. that is not using Rainbow tables. So, even salts in this case wont work :-|

I agree, that my review was biased (isn't everyone? :-o )

Oh.. thanks @tubbzor (I don't think that even @ works here ). As for Apple, some of the effects that we added are very difficult to add on Android, for which Apple provides direct API!
