Mobile Address Book Cloud Backup is in urgent need of regulatory constraints

For the recent more and more various types of Kik chat software and mobile phone address Book backup software, I generated the phone address Book backup is the security of concern, so on Weibo issued such a question: "Friends record, spark, rice chat, micro-letter, Millet mobile phone, Aliyun mobile phone, Huawei Mobile phone, QQ address book, ETC., All support the call directory to do acquaintances chat, support mobile phone address Book backup, OMG, mobile phone users, your address book to who in the end to custody? Operators can sell their contacts to make money, who can ensure that your address book is not being secretly sold by unscrupulous companies? ”

I did not expect this micro-bo aroused thousands of waves, many netizens in the back. Netizen Gao_rui: Good question! NET friend Beck said: "The communication record is the public resources, you sweep me sweep everybody sweep." Netizen Wu Xiaoxiang: Yes, user's privacy who to guarantee? Netizen small anchovy: make sense, I feel that I have been betrayed many times. Netizen Zhang Xiaolun: Has been thinking about this problem, before the local synchronization, and then online synchronization, but the synchronization is over I began to uneasy.

In addition to a lot of netizens saw me this micro-blog, I feel that I also realized that some netizens have proposed their own solutions. Netizen Xounger-finally is the game: QQ Address Book is very good! Netizen Smartluo: Trust QQ Sync Assistant 3 years of gold paint signboard! Netizen Cinnabar: By Tencent custody, by contrast or choose to believe Tencent's bottom line. Netizen Drinkwithme: Use QQ ...

A total of more than 20 replies, as long as the solution proposed by netizens will recommend the use of Tencent QQ Address Book and QQ Sync Assistant. Next, I also talk about my phone address Book backup experience. When using Nokia S60v3 mobile phones, I back to the SD card feature backup, and then save to my PC, but sometimes update the contact will forget to back up in time, and every time to use the data line or card reader, feel very troublesome; later, using the Android phone, I'll just back up my computer to the Android phone by using the Sync tool, and then use the Google account to back up my contacts because I feel like Google can still be trusted.

And then because Google account can only through WiFi or 3G connection, my mobile is a mobile card, so can not use 3G network, to find alternatives, and finally I use QQ Sync Assistant for backup, direct QQ account landing very convenient. And in my iphone can also be backup and synchronization, two mobile phone contacts can be consistent. To later, Kik hot up, QQ address Book support Q letter Free chat, and QQ Address Book Integration Synchronization assistant, can be a key backup and restore contact, so now has been using QQ contacts to do mobile phone contact person's backup.

The reason used QQ Address Book and QQ Sync Assistant, on the one hand, in order to more convenient, because the direct QQ account login, can be in QQ and QQ mailbox directly manage contact person, can be in different mobile phone directly from the network to restore contact, whether it is Symbian, Android or iOS. On the other hand, the most important thing is that I still trust Tencent in the user information security experience and ability, after all, has 700 million active users, as well as Q coins, game coins and other virtual property protection experience.

In addition, as netizens Cinnabar said "believe Tencent's bottom line", as the world's third largest internet company Tencent, did not do sorry for the user, even in the face of malicious attack and slander, also behaved very gentleman. So from this point, I very much believe that QQ Address book security.

But as more and more Kik software and mobile phone address book "Cloud Backup" software appears, regulatory departments and law enforcement departments if not to do effective regulations and regulations, will inevitably have users encounter bad corporate infringement, so still hope that the relevant cloud backup laws and regulations can be issued, supervision can be strengthened.
