Meituan APP deletes user's 504G photos - Your cell phone data, never yours?

A ”caching anomaly” has caused the permanent disappearance of many users” data. This is something we should seriously think about. Recently, a number of Android users have reported that without performing any operation, the photos and videos in their phone albums have been emptied. The interception logs show that the deletion operation was triggered by the app, which has a user loss of up to 504G, including family photos, signed contracts and other encrypted files, and all permanently damaged, can not be restored. On March 24th, ”Meituan deletes photos" was on the top search engines, attracting attention from all over the internet.

The official customer service of the American Tuan responded that this is the Android system in a very few cases, APP automatic cache cleanup when the anomaly occurs. Has been urgently repaired, and promised to bear all the compensation costs. The company's website is a great place to find out more about the company's services, and to learn more about the company's services. Every photo of your child growing up, important contracts accumulated over the years, family memories that can't be reproduced - these things have no price. What's more, it's worth asking: this time it's Meituan, what about next time? How many apps do you have installed on your phone, each with access to your photo albums? They can read, upload, and even delete your files without your knowledge.

You think the data is yours, but you're just keeping it for a while.

Closing down licenses and patching up alone will not cure the problem at root.

True data security requires that the problem be solved at the storage level.

Digital Vault DVT, hardware encrypted cloud storage, triple protection:

① Hardware-level encrypted storage - data is encrypted as it is deposited, the key is not uploaded to the cloud, and any third-party APP has no right of access and cannot be deleted.

② Blockchain full audit - each file change is recorded, abnormal access instant alerts, operation logs cannot be tampered with.

③ No fear of equipment damage - even if your cell phone breaks down, your data is still intact in the vault and can be recovered at any time.

American Tuan can compensate you for your money, but not for your data.
