The FBI explains why it changed the Apple ID of the seized iPhone

FBI Director James Comey Holds Media Availability In San Francisco

The FBI has decided to launch a press release explaining why they reset the iCloud password on the device that has been seized by the San Bernardino attacks and that is causing so much commotion in all areas, whether political or technological, in the United States. United. And is that the fact that the Government has asked Apple to introduce back doors in its devices is not sitting at all well in Cupertino, where they flatly refuse to actively violate the privacy of their users around the world at the request of the United States.

We transcribe the statement that the FBI has made to the reasons why it continues to request the password of the Apple ID of the device despite having obtained a backup of October 19:

According to our information, direct data extraction from an iOS device often offers more information than a backup extracted from iCloud. Even despite not having changed the password, Apple could have modified this automatic backup, where perhaps there is information that is not accessible without help from Apple. It is quite evident that an iCloud backup does not contain all the data that is present on an iPhone. The Government's goal is and remains to extract as much evidence as possible on this device.

Ultimately, Apple is going to be given a period of one week to reply to the FBI, but everything indicates that they will continue not to collaborate with the Government of the United States of America in their intention to complacently snoop on all iOS devices of the world, which includes American citizens and those who are not American at all. Apple is receiving a lot of support in this area and we hope it will continue in its position.

    I do not know why you are so reluctant with this issue ... That he is a fucking male murderer ... or do you think they have nothing better to do than gossip and see what you do or stop doing !? That they are not the marujas of the neighborhood gentlemen !!!

    It is a murderer but it is an excuse from the FBI, once it is unlocked it will proceed to any iPhone of any citizen and no longer terrorists whoever it is. That is why it is very important to stay and not give way to what the FBI asks for because privacy is first and all that of a terrorist is the greatest excuse for the people to side with the FBI but do not sneak in, the FBI already has enough data on that guy.

      We already entered assumptions ...

      FBI wants access to that phone. Point. A killer's phone. If it is very simple.

    And how do you change an appleid without having the password? Let the FBI if they have obtained the iCloud key but not the iPhone, this gives me that they think that then the most vulnerable data that are those of the cloud are not so secure.

    I freak out with people, but you really think that the FBI has nothing to do but smash the cell phone of 4 geeks ... You are stupid !!!!
    I am totally against Apple, something that can save lives or discover what has happened in an act that killed 14 people should collaborate, that you will soon forget the Madrid attacks, if they found a motive for those terrorists and you were family members of the victims to see what you thought.
    You look like animals instead of people, 14 dead and you worry that they won't look at your photos without your consent, what a bunch of geeks.

      First are the photos, then your personal data and sensitive information, and in the end what happens happens. I recommend that you take a look at this video (very interesting, by the way) that may open your eyes to what privacy really means in a person's life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPE7i8wuupk

    You have to be a memo to sell this motorcycle, and you have to think that we are stupid, and that we will buy this motorcycle ... how do you think that accessing an iPhone can save lives? The only way I can think of is if the government (governments) track your phone before you commit an attack ... and how do they know that you are a terrorist and the neighbor is not? Easy, they don't have to know, all the iPhones in the world are tracked, and hint.
    This is nothing more than an excuse to be able to access the telephones of the whole world. The FBI can put my data wherever it fits ...

    You really have to be short, it is clear that those 14 people are not going to be resurrected, but maybe they will find data on where they are going to act again, or who has captured them ...
    And from before, I put people's life and safety before my privacy, until you understand that against more privacy, less security we are ready.

    1.    Louis V said

      The less privacy, even less security and freedom. It is about having a balance of both ... the moment you sacrifice one of them, you are automatically giving up the other. That is what it is all about.
