The world’s leading Chinese cell phone company, Xiaomi, turned out to record all of its users’ activities.
This Xiaomi mobile user activity data is sent to the server of another Chinese technology giant, Alibaba.
Xiaomi’s ulcers were dismantled by experienced cybersecurity researcher Gabi Cirlig, reported by Forbes magazine on April 30, 2020, in an exclusive story titled: Exclusive: Warning about Chinese mobile phone giant Xiaomi that records millions of people’s private and web use
“This is the back door with a phone feature,” Cirlig joked half jokingly about his new Xiaomi phone.
Cirlig revealed that her Redmi Note 8 smartphone recorded all of her cell phone activities.
The data was then sent to the server of another Chinese tech giant, Alibaba, which was apparently leased by Xiaomi.
All activities of the cell phone user, including the website / website he visited, the search engine used if Google or DuckDuckGo to the visited news sites were recorded on the default mobile website.
All data is packaged and sent to servers in Singapore and Russia, despite the fact that the Xiaomi web domain hosting is registered in Beijing.
Tracking also occurs even when Cirlig uses “incognito / incognito” mode, which is supposed to be private.
At Forbes’ request, cybersecurity investigator Andrew Tierney investigated further.
