The password for the San Bernardino shooter's iCloud account associated with his iPhone was reset hours after authorities took possession of the device.
The Justice Department acknowledged in its court filing that the password of Syed Farook's iCloud account had been reset. The filing states, "the owner [San Bernardino County Department of Public Health], in an attempt to gain access to some information in the hours after the attack, was able to reset the password remotely, but that had the effect of eliminating the possibility of an auto-backup."
Apple could have recovered information from the iPhone had the iCloud password not been reset, the company said. If the phone was taken to a location where it recognized the Wi-Fi network, such as the San Bernardino shooters' home, it could have been backed up to the cloud, Apple suggested....

Of.course it did....and if the feds did nit get it into airplane mode or get it into a bag that blocks cell signals then the phone will be remote wiped as soon as it sees its first cell phone tower.

Of course it changed. CIA has been a criminal fascist, killing organization for decades—since WAY before Daddy Bush. It needs to be disbanded 50 years ago

Why was the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, of all places, the "owner" of the phone?
Was it taken in autopsy as "personal property" instead taken by police as evidence?
And who within the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health is going to own up to this error and not be punished? /sarcasm

The terrorist’s employer reset it after the attack?
Very odd.

I'm still waiting to find out if this is the case or not.

Why was the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, of all places, the "owner" of the phone? Because the Muslim Terrorist worked for the County of San Bernadino and was issued the phone by the County.

Not according to the video. His employer reset the phone hours after the attack.
I am trying to think of a reason why they’d do that.

Actually, he was there at the inception, though I don’t believe he was OSS.
To: DiogenesLamp
I understand. But he was just involved in a terrorist attack. Why in tarnation would they do that? It’s not like he handed in his resignation and everything was AOK.
