2023 current state of the art for removing the windows activation requirement malware:
apple has updated HT202303 to be more clear that Apple has the keys to your device backups that include your iMessage history:
from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212520
> iWork collaboration, the Shared Albums feature in Photos, and sharing content with “anyone with the link,” don’t support Advanced Data Protection. This means the shared content is not end-to-end encrypted even when Advanced Data Protection is enabled.
CVE-2023-21036 / acropalypse is absolutely bonkers.
Apparently for 5+ years the cropping / editing tools for screenshots on Google Pixel phones was only overwriting the start of the screenshot PNG file, but not truncating.
All screenshots shared for the past 5+ years might have data recoverable from them. Demo available at https://acropalypse.app/
Google still hasn't communicated anything on this.

Happy Saturday everyone. If you’re an iPhone owner, today would be a great day to turn on Advanced Data Protection: this will end-to-end encrypt your iCloud backups so that only you (and people you choose) can see your photos and data. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212520
