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.
Tbh i started using florisboard coz i found word suggestions on google board very scary , it felt like they been tapping each word typed by me ! Florisboard is nicely customizable , although auto correct would be a nice feature to have !
Apparently they’ve been caught up in working on predictions for a good while which has been harder than they expected, so that’s slowed development and releases considerably. So not abandoned by the devs for what its worth.
Just gonna plug FlorisBoard here. A bit barebones for now but at least it respects your privacy.
I wish the development was active , i been using florisboard since years now
