Apple Help is no longer needed. Thereby litigation between the giant and the FBI officially ended.
A week ago, the FBI reported, that does not need Apple's help at all to gain access to a password-locked iPhone, belonging to a terrorist from San Bernardino. And this implies, that the litigation was officially completed. But what does it actually mean? This is an occasion for joy or sorrow?
It is not known, who unlocked smartphone, how he did it and it was possible to get through this. The FBI also claims that achieved the desired result without the help of Apple, которая не хотела нарушать свои принципы.
Back in February, the head of the giant Tim Cook published an open letter, в котором решительно выступил против попыток взлома безопасности системы iOS and refused to cooperate with law enforcement authorities. he claimed – “Unlock even a smartphone can lead to, that all future iPhone (and the other i-device) будут находиться под угрозой наблюдения“.
One side, we all win - FBI achieved its goal, terrorist victims' families can learn the truth, while Apple has maintained its reputation. On the other hand, if the smartphone was actually unlocked, it is not known, what the consequences. But of course the belief “strong security” была явно поколеблена. What do you think about this?
