I would assume a Outside hacker got paid in Cash
So it may not be in their Lab etc.

Its not about any iphone
its about Terrorist Phones.

[The FBI has successfully accessed data stored
on an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino attackers.]

Feck Apple.

Stopping Terrorists

It's good news, because Apple will now increase the security of it's operating system

..it isn't that black and white though, there is nothing to say that being able to access a phone owned by a terrorist will give any valuable information and why would Apple as a company who has made the privacy of their phones a huge feature as to why people choose them over others, then take away that feature and security for everyone..I mean you're a businessman Arista, you should understand that surely...would you compromise your own product in such a way so that people may be less inclined to purchase it...

..and yes, it's been a bit of a bittersweet victory, Apple winning the court case but finding out what the weaknesses are that they hadn't been aware of but now that they are, they can address that...

I agree with you Arista, I think it was MTVN made the point about checking PCs countless paedophiles and others have been convicted in part due to what was found on their PCs how is accessing a phone any different, particularly in this case when it concerns security

lets hope they get some good stuff from this and it leads to arrests and not just their spotify history

The spotify history could be a crime in itself

I don't care if the fbi can unlock phones. I'm glad! The quicker they stop these vile creatures the better!

Livia · 29-03-2016, 09:56 AM

Great news. I'm kind of interested in what those who were against the FBI accessing a terrorist's phone are really worried about. What do they think they have about them that is SO interesting that the security services would be keen to take a look?

Tom4784 · 29-03-2016, 10:34 AM

How naive to think that this won't be abused. It annoys me how people are willing to have their rights ransacked as soon as someone mentions T-word. People like that are pretty much allowing the terrorists to win since what is the point if we become a Police State anyway. It's like those fools that want to leave the EU because it's Human Rights laws apply to everyone and not just the people they like, they don't realise they're giving up their rights just to spite a peado.

This wasn't about what the security services could access (though the nothing to hide, nothing to fear mantra truly is moronic), but more about the repercussions of what Apple writing a code to unlock this iPhone would be, and the access that potentially anyone with knowledge of that same code could then grant themselves. Anyone that actually bothered to read the initial letter - i.e. probably next to none of the people who were criticising Apple - would know this.

The end result of this has been a potentially positive one. The security services have got the access they required and so long as they cooperate with Apple, they will tighten up their security and cover up the loose ends. Everyone's a winner.

Smithy · 29-03-2016, 11:07 AM

Omg was it literally just the passcode they couldn't do?

Toy Soldier · 29-03-2016, 11:21 AM

The world is truly doomed. Even iPhones are being radicalised now? I didn't know Siri had developed a level of sentient thought capable of such existential choice as Jihad, but if it truly has, and there's a growing trend of iPhones turning to Islamic Extremism, then what are we supposed to do to stop it? Boom. A bomb in every living room. Game over.

Toy Soldier · 29-03-2016, 11:25 AM

Not in MY house, terrorist scum!

Wife's pretty pissed off about her phone but you can't be too careful in this day and age.

That ius quite the leap there from getting info from a murderers phone to save lives and thus becoming a police state

There isn't a leap.

"I'm kind of interested in what those who were against the FBI accessing a terrorist's phone are really worried about. What do they think they have about them that is SO interesting that the security services would be keen to take a look?"

is simply a long-winded way of saying

"Nothing to hide, nothing to fear".

This is a point of view that Livia has expressed on many occasions, along with being unable or unwilling to understand that some people don't agree with that logic.

Does that mantra automatically mean we have suddenly become a police state? No, of course not. It is one step closer, though.

If you think this is just about a terrorist's phone then you are naive. It's about setting a precedent.

It's a slippery slope, if we compromise our rights for a false sense of security then we'll be taken advantage of in the future since all they'll need to do is link something to terrorists and we'll be all too happy to throw our rights away.

There's going to be nothing of use on that phone, I'm calling it now. The terrorists behind that attack were likely acting alone and the FBI know that, they just want to set a precedent so they can do it in future.
