The case. FBI surprise: “We can violate the iPhone” – Barbadillo

 Orwell_1984 Some time ago we wrote of the battle between Apple and FBI, about the privacy of devices. In particular it was violating an iPhone to discover the secrets of one of the bombers of San Bernardino. Now the federal intelligence agency has announced that it will not need to agree with the Cupertino company, as it would seem to be able to break the system by itself.
Whether it is a test of media or statement true strength, appears once a move to influence the legal battle that the company of the apple and the US government are about to embark. Apple wants to protect your privacy at all costs, otherwise the image damage, the FBI wants to defend the safety of citizens, at least officially.
For now, the effect of the federal tax has been the cancellation of the first hearing, which would be celebrated on March 22. The FBI about a third actor that would provide a solution without the intervention of the company. A very low blow, if we consider that just the day before Tim Cook, the CEO, during the iPad launch event Pro, had treated as a centerpiece just protecting user privacy. “We built it for you, and now is a device that is part of ourselves – said about the iPhone – It’s like an extension of each of us. It’s something very personal. And protect the privacy of each of us is a duty. “
Apparently not everyone thinks the same way.
The future scenarios are still to be written. If it is true the FBI statement we would be dealing with millions of devices which do not guarantee privacy. Apple will have to run fast to cover.
