The U.K. government has recently removed encryption advice from its National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) website, which had previously recommended end-to-end encryption for high-risk individuals. This change coincides with the government's demand for Apple to implement backdoor access to encrypted data stored on iCloud, leading Apple to retract its Advanced Data Protection feature in the U.K. The NCSC's advice now redirects to guidelines advocating for Apple's Lockdown Mode instead. This shift has raised significant concerns among cybersecurity experts regarding the protection of sensitive data for at-risk individuals.
