>After the unprecedented breach of hacking tools and exploits stolen from the US National Security Agency's elite hacking unit, some privacy advocates see it as clear vindication of Apple in its fight with the FBI earlier this year.
>"The component of the government that is supposed to be absolutely best at keeping secrets didn't manage to keep this secret effectively," Nate Cardozo, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Business Insider.
>In February, a judge ordered Apple to help the FBI unlock an iPhone that was used by Syed Rizwan Farook, one of two attackers who killed 14 people in a December terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California. That order set off a vigorous debate between law-enforcement officials seeking evidence and technologists worried over broader implications for personal privacy.
>While the company's legal team fought the order, Apple CEO Tim Cook published a letter arguing against being forced to build a so-called backdoor that would subvert the encryption that not only kept the shooter's phone secure, but also the smartphones of millions of other Apple users.
TL;DR
>Apple: If we're forced to build a tool to hack iPhones, someone will steal it. >FBI: Nonsense. >Russia: We just published NSA's hacking tools
Reminder that there were a sizeable amount of "people" (alt-right) on here that were damning Apple for not handing the keys to iPhones to the FBI.
"A key assertion I've heard is that if Apple can do this, then surely they can do something similar to escrow your keys for law enforcement. But looking at the system shows isn't true at all."

>gives up torrent tracker admin in a heartbeat
What did Apple mean by this?
Jayden Martinez
This has got to be the most pathetic thing I've seen in years.
>but not pirates >especially when they're bad for our iTunes profits
wtf i hate apple now!
Jacob Torres

Adam Baker
They gave server IP logs. Making the link to the KAT Admin was the FBI's job.
Regardless, we should remember that all big tech companies are under PRISM and will give data to the Enn Ess Ayy when they're asked, but I can't see any other company fighting the FBI in this situation.

Well, that's my mind made up. Fuck Android.
My next phone will be an iPhone. You only get security from the top; with Tim in charge, that means my phone, tablet, computer and cloud storage are more secure than the competition.
I love Apple now.

Apple has never given a single shit about privacy except as a marketing tool. Only a deluded fantard would even think otherwise.
Joshua Baker
The thing you have to remember about alt-rightists and even just good old fashioned righties is they have repeatedly been the first in line to bend over for Americans 4th amendment rights to be violated in the new Millennium.
Digital privacy is arguably not covered in the Constitution either.
And just because Cook didn't want to hand over the keys to the kingdom, doesn't mean they won't curate and unlock the doors if asked by a judicial system authority.
Lucas Brown
egad I'm currently displeased with the apple corporation!

They have done basically the exact opposite in the past. If such a scenario were even hinted at, those two would offer their help before the public could even know about it.

Apple supported it in part to have access to competitors' data. It was one of the benefits of CISA passing, for companies anyway.
Joshua Morris
The decision has been made for us
If you want a high quality premium product from a company that cares about your privacy, you choose Apple.
If you want run of the mill mediocre products from companies that do not give two fucks about your privacy, you choose another vendor.

They haven't been fighting shit.
They put up token resistance and then cave.
The two companies who are in every single computing device made since the 90s couldn't spread word to their users and lobby officials to get them to stop?

Security-assessment doesn't mean giving encryption keys you fucking spastic.

It just means they have exploits to get the data they want. Which means compromised security.

That is such alarmist bull shit in that article. If it was anything like Microsoft's audit with Windows source code to the EU, the auditors have to consult the code on dedicated workstations and they are forbidden to bring in laptops or mobile phones. Sessions are limited and workstations are physically monitored. It's not as if the Chinks can grab the code and then compile their own version. kek

>carrying about privacy >not buying apple
Its sad that you have to pay a premium for these things nowadays but that is how capitalism work.
If you dont want to have a crippled device and and you want to keep your privacy Apple the only way to go.

Any time you read about major Hacking attempts in China, assume it's PLA Unit 61398 until verified otherwise.
So the data is sent unencrypted because of the security exploits they could develop.
