The FBI has discovered key-word information on the iPhone of the San Bernardino terrorists that it managed to break last month, officials said. But they add that they were not in a position to discover terrorist connections with ISIS or other terrorists.
Let's recall that the FBI demanded Apple's help to break the iPhone used by terrorist Syed Farook to plan the attacks in San Bernardino, but Cupertino refused to do so arguing that breaking its devices would bring more threats to security and privacy for its customers.
The federations, however, managed to unlock the phone with the help of a hacker team they did not name. For the FBI, it was important to open the device not believing Apple's claims that the terrorists would not store sensitive data on a device that would be holding them in an attack.
According to today's FBI announcement, Apple was not right, as they found really valuable information on the phone after hacking.
US officials do not reveal what they just discovered on the iPhone, but they say what they did not find out. There was no evidence of terrorist involvement with ISIS or other terrorist groups in the device.
Here, we have to say that all of the above allegations come to stimulate the confrontation of the federal and technological companies on encryption issues.
Of course, the FBI's announcement strengthens the position of government officials seeking to prove the need for backdoors in encrypted systems.
As for us, it would be good to filter the news they serve, as you understand there are also feasibilities.
