In this report, we analyze the Windows, Android, and iOS versions of Tencent’s Sogou Input Method, the most popular Chinese-language input method in China. Our analysis found serious vulnerabilities in the app’s custom encryption system and how it encrypts sensitive data. These vulnerabilities could allow a network eavesdropper to decrypt sensitive communications sent by the app, including revealing all keystrokes being typed by the user. Following our disclosure of these vulnerabilities, Sogou released updated versions of the app that identified all of the issues we disclosed.
Vulnerabilities in Sogou Keyboard encryption expose keypresses to network eavesdropping.
The source was hidden because the study was not performed by Harvard. Just because Harvard published a news article does not mean they did the research.
As I said, it’s a bullshit article.
“A new study from the Ash Center fills in this gap for the first time, providing a long-term view of how Chinese citizens view their government”
“Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, formerly known as the Ash Institute, was established in 2003 and is part of the Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States.”
I can tell you’ve lost because you’re resorting to attacking me. Want to provide a response to my criticism of the study more substantive than an emoji?
Remember, it’s about the study, not you or me. Stop trying to make this personal. Don’t put words in my mouth, I’ve not done the same to you.
I don’t believe there’s a single government in the entire WORLD with that approval rating. I’m not convinced by the results of a single survey, that’s not how science works- even social science.

You were saying?
It’s not peer reviewed, and it’s self reported survey findings. I’ve not seen this replicated anywhere.
Still not convinced.
Goal post shifting much?
You: It’s just Chinese propaganda with no source!
Me: provides source
You: Well it’s not a Harvard study!
Me: It definitely is.
You: Well that study sucks anyway!
Me: 🙄
