Foxnews announced FBI has broken into San Bernadino terrorist phone without aid from apple.
Obstructionists extraordinary, but now with vulnerabilities. Scruples and principles be damned.
Apple deserves this. They deserve the humiliation of having their supposedly unbreakable system beaten in just a week.
They made it into a pissing contest, and now Apple has lost even more than they would have had they simply helped as they had done all those many times before.
Not surprising at all. The feds must have this capability and maybe they are pretending that they don’t.
And Apple will double down on their security & encryption.
I probably do most of them without knowing.
it would be a GREAT book.
it seems to me that required passwords for CCs that can be as simple as (your first name)1234 is pointless.
i guess it’s not.
Hey, I see all of my data backed up down there.....
Yup. Exactly. And all network devices; not just smart phones.
Modems, routers/gateways, servers, computer operating systems, etc.
I’m betting they just remember the password they changed it to.
I disagree. Apple was given a court order. Last I checked, that complies with the fourth amendment.
Apple then launched a very deceitful fear mongering campaign, relying on lazy people not to bother checking on Apple's made up claims.
A lot of people bought the crap that Apple was selling, and so once more, propaganda defeated truth.
And now Apple's system has been broken anyways, and Apple stands humiliated.
Access to the physical phone is hopefully different from the data that has run through it to the cloud or where ever.
That’s the ticket, announce it to the world, so any of the killers buddies who were in touch via his iPhone can do more to cover their tracks. This isn’t about cracking an iPhone, and it never has been. It’s been about the FBI’s craven desire to have a back door into Apple’s products. Glad we’re good customers since the days of the Macintosh Plus.
MY bet all along was that the murderous scum had already wiped.
The Joos B keepin’ the Muzzies down....Yet Again....
“then breaking the encryption “
Encryption was not the issue.
They only needed to bypass the automatic erase after 10 guesses with the four digit pin.
One thing that can be learned from this, is that false flags (NOT saying this was one) in the future will be used for more than just gun confiscation/conrol.
NSA
MI5
DGSE
CIA
I had read elsewhere that an Israeli security firm was working on it..
Google is your friend:
Awesome.
Let us know when they actually find Hillary’s missing Benghazi emails.
“Foxnews announced FBI has broken into San Bernadino terrorist phone without aid from apple.”
And we believe this because the Fibber Bureau of Instigation never lies? Get real! “Let’s give up and say we did it. Yeah, that’s what we’ll do!”
That would be stupid of them. Maybe they didn’t find anything useful on the phone. Or maybe they have already made arrests.
