A report by Citizen Lab indicates that nearly a billion mobile users globally were at risk due to unencrypted keyboard app communications on various devices from manufacturers like Samsung, Tencent, Baidu, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and Honor. These vulnerabilities potentially allowed third parties to access user keystrokes. Huawei’s keyboard was found to be secure, while Apple and Google keyboards do not transmit keystrokes to cloud servers. As of April 1, most manufacturers have addressed these security issues, except Honor and Tencent.
