Sony 官方回應 Xperia 手機出現百度資料夾問題

上周我們曾經報導，Sony 的手機在沒有下載過任何百度應用程式的情況下，手機會自動出現怎麼刪也刪不掉的百度（Baidu）資料夾，且會透過 My Xperia 服務傳送資料至中國的伺服器，有不少人擔心會不會是間諜程式入侵 Sony 手機。

Sony 官方在本月 1 日對此問題特別做出回應，My Xperia 是 Sony 推出的安全應用程式，若使用者手機遺失，透過 My Xperia 可以進行定位及鎖定功能，確保使用者資料安全，由於中國並沒有 Google 雲端服務，因此會以百度推送服務取代，Sony 保證，My Xperia 不會儲存任何使用者的資料到百度伺服器中，因此 Sony 使用者不需擔心。

此外，由於並不是所有消費者都位在中國地區，因此新版本的 My Xperia 將能讓使用者自行選擇所在區域，近期內就會推出 My Xperia 更新版。

Rickard – Sony Xperia Support：

I've had some further feedback from the guys in our development team. I can confirm that Xperia phones don’t store any user data for transmission to Baidu. The MyXperia app supports both Google Cloud Messaging service and the Baidu Push Notification framework, as do many third party apps, to make sure we can support our China customers as well as those in the rest of the world. Both get automatically initialised when you first activate MyXperia. The IP activity you are seeing is just linked to Baidu’s push notification system, which is an expected behaviour for this application.
Future updates of MyXperia will be optimised so the Baidu Push Notification framework is only initialized in Mainland China variants of Xperia devices. But as these services are common standards in the industry, other 3rd party applications may also include Baidu Push Notifications or other Baidu services, resulting in the Baidu folder being shared between such applications. Sony Mobile fully reassures all its customers that MyXperia uses a push notification system and does not store any user data for transmission to Baidu.

Magnus Hilding – Sony MyXperia 程式開發主管：

We built the app using both protocols to ensure both our Chinese and global users could enjoy MyXperia. However, we’ve designed later versions to package the service relevant to a specific region only – these updates are right around the corner, rolling out soon.
