It remains to be seen what the results will be.
Apple himself was silent about the incident – perhaps also because according to the IPA, it should not officially comment. Finally, the group decided to fully disconnect the ADP in the country. “We are deeply disappointed that security by ADP will no longer be available to our customers: in the UK, especially against the background of continuous increasing data protection injuries and other hazards for users’ privacy: Inside.
