The FBI confirms that it has accessed the iPhone, withdraws from the case

FBI

According to the FBI spokesman, the security force has successfully unlocked the iPhone 5c owned by one of the terrorists involved in the San Bernardino attacks. Apple was completely refusing to collaborate with the Government of the United States of America with the intention that this unlocking work would be carried out from Cupertino and included back doors. However, last week the FBI requested a recess in the case, everything indicated that they had somehow managed to access the iOS devices, and they confirmed it today. The FBI has announced that it has been successful in unlocking the iOS device.

They have not given more data to make us draw a conclusion from all this, in fact they have not spoken about who has helped them, although yesterday we learned that this work was being carried out by an Israeli company. The FBI has simply limited itself to informing in the statement that "it has expressly accessed the data stored on Farook's iPhone and no longer requires Apple's help." Now that the FBI has the data on the device, it will withdraw its ongoing legal actions against Apple. As for the information that iPhone stored, it is something we will probably never know.

Meanwhile the Justice Department has said it remains a priority to ensure that police can access digital information of any fear to protect national security and public safety. Meanwhile, it will continue to take advantage of all the options that this new mechanism offers them, relying on the creativity of both the public and private sectors. Apple in the meantime can already consider the issue settled, although we do not know until when, I doubt that it will take a long time to return to the charge from the United States Government.

    I've always said, it's an armed circus. The FBI has always had and will have access to any device connected to the network and Apple knows it and agrees. The alleged legal "fight" is more than a sham.

    Imagine if the fbi was able to access a supposedly safe iPhone when you think that anyone can access now so that they can buy a new iPhone if one could do it, anyone can be without the need for a back door if the back door is the same operating system tell me they are simply codes or olgorithms which the sanbe catches gets it no matter how safe it is ……… .. apple will have to create a new operating system a corgroup system no longer serves only to spy on you trust apple just because it says it is safe I do not think so and I bet there was nothing in that cell phone that would be as toto as me to leave valuable information that easy

    It is just posturing, Apple has been the cool "protect user data" and the FBI has obtained the key that has been found under the carpet to enter their house, with a sign "I have dropped it."
    Apple designs the products in the USA, the NSA sure has something to decide the final design ... everything else fairy tale.
