Guest Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 not to say that there aren't any 0days for current phones & OSes.... wasn't there some competition some months ago where some unknown actor offered a million $$$ bounty for an iOS 0day exploit, and it was "allegedly" solved like a week later? Could have been a hoax or some other bullshit but dunno. it's not like these things are completely safe now, there's always some security hole or another waiting to be exploited.

True, it worked on older iPhones but it wouldn't surprise me if the NSA has attempted to maintain pace with iOS development.

Similar to how the UK gov't spent much effort convincing the Germans that they hadn't cracked the Enigma code. Be carefull, best wishes and good luck.

MisterE Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 according to the daily beast a NY prosecutor said that apple can unlock phones and has worked with the gov to unlock phones up to 70 times in the past which daily beast says apple does not dispute. which if true imo probably does reduce apple's current stance down from being a moral stance against authorities invading privacy down to a concern about PR with their users. maybe the reason they refuse to cooperate in this case is because of how high profile the case is, which means that if they did cooperate it would be a lot harder to sweep that aspect of the story under the rug so that the happy iphone users out there could continue thinking their locked phones are truly private and unhackable?

chenGOD Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 It's probably a combination of a recognizing of the change in attitudes by the public toward privacy, an actual change in moral compass, and the fact that iOS9 makes it harder to crack the passwords. Regardless, a public stance against this demand from the feds is not really a bad thing.

Guest Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) no, it's not bad that they do so. it's just bad that they can extract information if they want to while saying that they can't basically they already have a back door, they just want to give it to the feds so all this nonsense about 'protecting information' and 'putting it beyond reach of even apple' is just a load of bullshit and we are swallowing it like hot croissants. god, fuck you apple. fuck you so fucking hard with your fucking two-timing asshat attitude Edited February 18, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/90010-apples-response-to-the-us-government/page/2/#findComment-2420485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, a public stance against this demand from the feds is not really a bad thing. possibly. but it seems to me you have just as much of a reason to believe that as i do that it's merely a case of apple having enjoyed having it both ways in the past- being paragons of virtue to their userbase, providing them with this sweet 'locked phone' tech that makes everyone feel all warm and fuzzy and unhackable and private, while colluding with the gov to unlock, apparently, dozens of phones. in dozens of cases which apparently were much more under the radar than a terrorist attack, and therefore not widely reported on or at least for whatever reason, the apple angle not getting covered in those cases. and now you have a pretty big headline and the feds want their buddies to comply again as they have many times in the past, and apple chooses this, a terrorist attack, as their ground to make a stand and protect the privacy of those attackers. maybe its because the headine of 'terrorist attack' brings with it a tad more media scrutiny which means more possibility of apple's cooperation being made into a headline itself? so they did the only thing they could do, which was point fingers and jump to take the high horse stand and hope it flies with their loyal userbase? is there any real evidence based reason to suggest i don't have just as much of a reason to interpret the events this way as you do to interpret them your way?

chenGOD Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 MisterE of course there's no reason you couldn't be exactly correct in your assumption. In this case I'm not too bothered about the motives as long as the end result is Apple doing what they say they will.

MisterE Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 i agree. but the same apple who is telling people now that the new tech can't be unlocked even by them, is the same apple who told people in recent years that the phones they were selling couldn't be unlocked, while they were unlocking them. apparently.

chenGOD Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I don't know what apple was telling people about previous phones, I don't pay that much attention to the corporate PR. I have no doubt that Apple could unlock even the newest phones and iOS, but since I have no means to change Apple's behavior (as I don't have Apple stock, nor do I sit on the board), I instead choose to focus on the government, which we can actually change (not without considerable effort and not always successfully). So I'm glad that they didn't just bend over, and I'm glad that the issue is more in the public, even if this is what it took to get there.
