Apple Opposes Judge Order to Break Encryption

With the bad guy using an encrypted iPhone.

What does that have to do with the attack, the victims, and the prevention of such said attack?

Why don't we blame the gun manufacturer too?

Why don't we blame FBI/CIA for failing to notice this guy given his arsenal?

Bad guy also used a car too. Should we blame that car manufacturer?

Blame game is easy. I like it.

Remind me...did iPhone encryption (or Apple in general) in the cases you mentioned above directly (or indirectly) responsible for people's deaths or even the actual attack? If NOT, then aren't YOU the one sitting in a dark room all day talking in theory?

The problem with your assertion is that the FBI did not fail. The judge never got a chance to rule. Let you imagination run wild. The whole ISIS issue stems from the fact that the investigation at hand was an ISIS or ISIS inspired attack. With the bad guy using an encrypted iPhone.

what are you going on about?
wtf does isis have to do with this conversation?

the fbi did fail. they tried to strong arm apple into doing something, apple refused.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's secret method for unlocking the iPhone 5c used by one of the San Bernardino shooters will not work on newer models, FBI Director James Comey said.

Comey added that the technique would not work on the iPhone 5s and the later models iPhone 6 and 6s.

It turns out there was nothing substantial on the San Bernardino iPhone all along - Tech Insider

haha, all the bs over this stupid phone, and there was nothing of use on it.

It was not BS. IN fact it is a huge threat and not to the Us government but the US citizen. What they want is a ruling that will force all phone manufacturers and software manufactures to give the government a master key.

This would subvert the 4th amendment, and give government unfettered access into our lives. Everyone who has ever worked in the field knows the government, given time, can hack into anything. Operative word thing.

What they want is the ability to have a master key, back door, whatever you wish to call it, so they can go anywhere anytime into anything, and spy on us, or even plant shit on us, which they have done and the cases can be found in almost every states appellate decisions.

The governments major concern is not our safety and security, it is control.

oh, I think you misunderstand. I agree completely.
the BS was the fact they even tried, and that there wasn't anything on there. it only proves they were full of shit to begin with.

Well their actions (and publicity stunt by government) has led to rippling effect across tech sector resulting in some companies bolstering encryption and finding ways to avoid being put on the spot. Apple, for instance, is looking at designing their own servers and enhancing encryption further to cover everything.

FBI Director James Comey suggested to a conference in London that his agency paid more than $1.3 million to gray-hat hackers who were able to unlock the iPhone 5C that was used by Syed Farook Rizwan, the dead terrorist who masterminded the attack in San Bernardino, California, in December 2015.

:embarassed:

A commenter said it best:

"I could have told them there was nothing of value on the phone for 100K.

1. They destroyed their personal equipment prior to the shootings.
2. This was a company phone.

Where do I send my invoice?

Oh, and there sure as hell isn't some Dormant Cyber Pathogen1 on it.

Jesus that last one was stupid."
