Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A report from Citizen Labs assessing the security of nine major cloud-based pinyin keyboard apps. The researchers found critical vulnerabilities in eight out of the nine assessed apps that would allow a passive network eavesdropper to decipher the user's keystrokes. Together with a previous report on Sogou, Citizen Labs estimates that up to one billion users are affected by these vulnerabilities.
