According Pinchai ask companies to undermine the security of mobile codes to allow the FBI to access the data would be a. “Dangerous precedent” http://www.apple.com/customer-letter/ – I have Tim Cook always Admired for His stance on privacy and Apple’s Efforts to … Posted by Jan Koum on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 Tim Cook , CEO of Apple, said that the request to force the encrypted code would create a “dangerous precedent.” The decision to “oppose this order,” said the CEO of Apple in a statement, “is not something we take lightly.

The order of the federal judge Sheri Pym included a requirement for Apple to bypass the security code of the phone and that of self-cancellation of the data, so that investigators could try an unlimited number of times to enter the unlock code. The company had five days to contest the order if considered “unreasonably burdensome”, said the judge.
