The FBI found out information into a issues keys to the San Bernardino terrorists' iPhone that he managed to hack last month, agency officials say. But they added that they were unable to discover any links between the terrorists and 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.
Οι ομοσπονδιακοί όμως, κατάφεραν να ξεκλειδώσουν το τηλέφωνο με τη βοήθεια μιας ομάδας hacker που δεν κατονόμασαν. Για το FBI ήταν σημαντικό να ανοίξει την συσκευή μην πιστεύοντας τους ισχυρισμούς της Apple που ανέφεραν ότι οι τρομοκράτες δεν θα αποθήκευαν ευαίσθητα δεδομένα σε μια συσκευή που θα κρατούσαν μαζί τους σε μια attack.
According to today's FBI announcement, Apple was not right, as they found really valuable information on the phone after hacking.
US officials aren't disclosing exactly what they found on the iPhone, but instead they're saying what they didn't. There were none on the device data linking terrorists with ISIS or other terrorist groups.
Here we should mention that all the above claims come to stimulate the confrontation between the federal government and the technology companies that have over issues encryptions.
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.
