Apple Won't Create 'Backdoor' to Help FBI Access San Bernardino Shooter's iPhone

[mrjarrell]

The FBI has asked that their court date tomorrow be vacated. They say they've got an outside source that may be able to unlock the iPhone in their possession. Apple hasn't responded yet.

Just now reporting:

Court: Hearing between feds, Apple canceled as FBI works with ‘outside party’ to unlock phone.

Is it JOHN MCAFEE?! Hah

 

[mrjarrell]

Wasn't Mcafee. He's already admitted he lied about being able to do it.Maybe the NSA decided to pull their nuts out of the fire they started.

Looks like the judge granted them a suspension until they see if their would be hacker can get into the iPhone. They have till April 5th.

Getting interesting.

They catch a hacker and offer a plea?

 

[Cameramonkey]

As others have said, they have had a way in all along. They just didnt want to tip their hand and make it public knowledge.

This certainly feeds the theory that the FBI was using this emotive case to get a binding legal precedent

Look at the administration they work for.

Thing is, I believe before the obama admin got in, they already had info on these shooters and were made to delete it. If I can find a source I'll edit this post and put it in here. But I agree I like a big company telling the big government to go pound sand.

They had evidence of potential Saudi terrorists and were made to delete it by Obama?

I could see incompetently failing to stop the attack, losing our heads, getting bogged down in foreign adventures, then using it to justify vast over reach of a national security state.
But just deleting the evidence?

Apple is just weeks ahead of the hackers trying to keep our personal information safe. Please watch John Oliver's clip on youtube regarding how complicated of an issue this is. Also, LIndsey Graham has changed his opinion as well.

Govt says it has successfully accessed data stored on San Bernardino suspect's iPhone, no longer requires help from Apple - filing

Apple maintains it's rep...but probably not its source code.

The gvt. now has a very useful tool.

Everyone's happy?

Angry feds go to court.
