Sunbird Relaunches Controversial iMessage for Android App With New Privacy Focus After Past Security Concerns
-
Sunbird, the controversial iMessage for Android app, is relaunching its service with a new infrastructure focused on privacy after security issues previously surfaced.
-
The company is slowly sending out beta invitations to those on its waitlist starting today.
-
Sunbird claims its new architecture (AV2) ensures unencrypted messages are never stored and encrypted messages are only temporarily decrypted in memory when transferring platforms.
-
Static files are stored in encrypted cloud storage for less than 48 hours, and all communications are transported via encrypted protocols like HTTPS and MQTTS.

Strange detail Sunbird's blog mentions hiring a Google Gmail engineering director who seems to have actually left Google for a job at Capital One in March.
