Wow...
Apple has been ordered by the UK to create a backdoor in encrypted iCloud backups to provide official access for security officals.
Bad enough if it only affected British users, but in fact, it affects all iCloud users worldwide.
Sure, it's not Apple's fault, but if they implement a backdoor on demand of the UK, other countries may follow. This would finally mean that Apple's end to end encryption is totally useless at all.
Have you ever thought about building your own private cloud to backup your data, protecting the access with a VPN like Wireguard? Maybe it's time to think about it.
