“Wells Fargo holds employees to the highest standards and does not tolerate unethical behavior,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to Bloomberg.
This has nothing to do with the Files app, nor does it have anything to do with re-indexing of the Photos library. This has to do with fighting CSAM. Apple has started (in this or a previous update), to scan your device (including deleted files) for anything containing nudity (search for "brasserie") and adding it to your photos library in a way that it is hidden. That way, anything that the models detect as nudity is stored in your iCloud database permanently. Apple is doing this because it allows them to screen for unknown CSAM material. Currently it can only recognize known fingerprints, but doing this allows them (and the other parties that have access to your iCloud data) to analyze unknown media.
The bug mentioned here accidentally made those visible to the user. The change visible updates the assets in the library in a way that removes the invisibility flag, hence people noticing that there are old nudes in their library that they cannot delete.

And speaking of deleting things, things are never really deleted. The iPhone keeps a record of messages you delete and media, inside the KnowledgeC database. This is often used for forensic purposes. Apple is migrating this to the Biome database, which has the benefit of being synchronized to iCloud. It is used to feed Siri with information, among other things. Anything you type into your devices, or fingerprints of anything you view are sent to Apple's servers and saved. Spooky, if you ask me. But the only way we can have useful digital assistants is when they have access to everything, that's just how it works.
Nudes are meant to persist on iPhone. You're just not meant to notice.
A couple of months ago, they told the Microsoft sales team that they would not give them the data of their members. I want to know who they are working with to do this.
If my daily NYT games go down I will do something bad..I don’t know what but it will be somewhere in between knocking over a plate of spaghetti with angry gusto and complete nuclear global obliteration. I’ve yet to decide.
If you're writing down your passwords for personal use, and you keep them collected in a notebook or something you're fine. If a bad guy has broken in to your home where they would have physical access to your notebook, then you have much bigger security problems than having your passwords compromised. Keeping a physical notebook of passwords would be much safer than keeping them in a file on your computer.
Password reuse is a much bigger security problem than writing your passwords down.
I refuse to believe that corporate bad faith argument that "researchers" just recently exposed those security flaws. The moment some overpaid idiot in a suit put that stupid idea on a white board there must have been a deluge of objections from anyone in the company with an IQ above room temperature. They just chose to ignore them until they realized how bad the backlash turned out to be.
