I don't know how the situation of the last few days regarding the case of unlocking the San Bernardino attacker's phone is perceived in the Czech Republic, but as someone who currently lives in the United States, I have to say that there is currently nothing else being discussed here except for presidential candidate Donald Trump. The whole case is shaking up the entire political and technological world. On LsA Of course, we will keep you informed about everything carefully, but let's still remember all the events.
Security forces need to them Apple has gained access to the iPhone 5c of the San Bernardino shooter who shot 14 people last December. The FBI has his phone and believes it contains important information that could help solve many mysteries surrounding the attack. Prothat from Applu needs this Cupertino company to provide them with software that would be able to crack the phone's security code. Apple but he has a different opinion. In recent years, Tim Cook and co. focused on protecting user data, which makes the iPhone a device that the FBI can hack into without help. Applu simply won't get it. Apple he did not comply with the FBI's request and let it be known that he will do everything to protect user data, even in this case, where it is clear that this is information that would help clarify a terrorist attack. Apple but mainly argues that the development of the necessary software could fall into the wrong hands, which could theoretically endanger all users iOS device. Tim Cook described this previously non-existent cancer software, which would pose a great danger.
"The only way to get the information now - at least now, as we currently understand it - would require writing software, which I liken to cancer. We think it would be bad news if we attempted such a thing. We would never do that. We never wrote it - that's what it's all about now. We think it would be a very dangerous operating system,” said the CEO Appyou.
This creates a precarious situation. It is not even about breaking the code itself, it is mainly about the direction in which the cooperation between technology companies and the highest politics will develop. if Apple with the FBI began working on breaking the code, a precedent would be set that would make it clear how to proceed in future cases of a similar nature. Will the emphasis be placed on protecting user data and their privacy, or will an exception be made from time to time, which would mean cooperation between the technology and security, and therefore political, sectors. Will the privacy of the individual be respected, or will the protection of the entire society be preferred? Should the procedure be followed Applu, or the FBI?
In my opinion it is Apple, who does the right thing.
The FBI argues that their demands only apply to this one phone. After all, it would be really helpful if the FBI could get data from the attacker's phone. Software that would allow so-called "backdoor" entry into iOS device, but it would work on all phones. It would simply drastically reduce user security from minute to minute, because suddenly there would be software that would be able to compromise every iPhone in the world and therefore all users. Those in addition AppThey believe in him, they trust him also because Apple everywhere reports how it is iPhone the safest phoneonem at all and how even he can't get into it.
We live in an age of hacking, we live in an age of user attacks, where data is leaked and where more or less every movement and activity of users is monitored. What was impossible yesterday may be possible tomorrow. So it is more than likely that this software would leak and quickly spread and be used throughout the technology sector. Everyone would be at risk. Every user could feel the consequences, which would be great. What the FBI is after Applu wants to dramatically reduce data protection and privacy for the entire society, even though the FBI means well because it wants to help fight terrorism. Is it really worth it? In my opinion, privacy and the protection of important and personal data of users should come first. As already mentioned, the development of this backdoor software would mean establishing a rule that would determine how to proceed in other, future cases. So it would not stop with this unique case, it would be about creating a systemic measure that would be used to enter all existing electronic devices. After all, let's look around us, we have phones, tablets, computers, smart watches, but also smart cars, intelligent thermostats and various other sensors. Do we really want there to be a way to get into every device?
Will we choose to protect all or none? Do we prioritize access to all devices over user protection? It is necessary for us all to be protected, meaning that this malicious software is never written. We must not reduce data protection, on the contrary. Apple so he is right in this case and i just hope he stands his ground no matter what it takes.

That's one way of looking at it. And he's totally fine. But nothing is just black or white. The second view is that the team that Apple it protects customers, it also protects terrorists. And the terrorists know that Apple will not release their information to the FBI or any other party, so they can continue to operate, use their iPhones, recruit new members, increase their numbers and use iOS on everything related to the team... because they are protected.
And claims Apple they make me wonder how Mr. Cook if something also happened to his family, his loved ones, or a member of his team at work...
Interestingly, the use of iPhones and iPads is prohibited in ISIS, and the terrorists have migrated to Android.
Anyway, the default security setting has Apple much better than most android.
Internal storage can also be encrypted on Android, but you have to manually enable the feature and it may not be available on all devices.
If you want to secure your Android, the best solution is probably to choose Nexus and use Signal or Threemu for communication. Data to cloudu encrypt with boxcryptor. And use a VPN or TOR to connect to the internet.
By the way, in the Czech Republic there is probably a similar case with Rittig, whose iPads were confiscated by Šlachta et al., which they could not get into. Then the encrypted phones, the Police only managed to decipher part of the communication with the Prime Minister Nečas's partner because she used a too simple password and had it written on a piece of paper next to the phone.

Otherwise, the company should make sure that they make it as difficult as possible for the terrorists to carry out the attack. But nowadays, probably, difficult, when in the American states guns are sold together with hot dogs, and chemistry is used in every industry all over the world. To put it bluntly: ubiquitous chemistry has ensured that explosives can also be made from food flavoring.
It is not exactly as it is written here. Apple he worked with the FBI, but they screwed up.
In the video it Tim Cook explains.

AppI'm rooting for this. But I don't understand why the FBI doesn't just hard copy the data from the phone's flash memory. That shouldn't be such a problem. After all iPhone does not encrypt the entire contents of the flash memory. Or am I wrong? And if the contents are encrypted, they can try a brute force attack directly on the data from the flask, then some limit of 10 attempts cannot threaten them.
Apple would not produce any cancer. In my opinion, if I have the device physically, it can always be accessed, even without the operating system running. Unless the terrorist had to use a very long password to open the phone, but I doubt that.
In addition apple I have a backup saved from iCloudu, it is also encrypted and the password was lost because the FBI requested a password reset.
After all, they can find out what email address it belongs to.Cloud account is connected, the provider will give them access to that email box. Then they can easily complete the password reset and evenCloud backup, for example by restoring the backup to a new device.
The whole thing seems like an inflated bubble to me. If the FBI thought about it, they would surely find a way to access the data without having to type Apple special operating system.
Solomon,
that will not be valid for them. In iPhone a password other than the valid one is entered (changed by FBI) and thus no synchronization is performed. They need to get newer data than was last synced to iCloud.
The idea that Apple she is protecting terrorists she is sick. As sick as a society that thinks terrorists simply show up. No, they didn't. They were co-created by the government, which is now pushing and trying to shift the responsibility to the tech company. This is the symbolism of today's society. You're ill? We'll give you a powder. And it is done. He doesn't want to ask why you're sick, what it means, what you're doing wrong, what your body is telling you about the illness. We give the powder. We will give a system that will show us that Saddam has chemical weapons….
salamoun: it is certainly not a problem to copy the data from the flash memory, the problem will be decryption by brute force, the encryption key is quite long and without it it is a very long way to go :)
daymoon: In case he doesn't ask you about the details of the illness, I would probably change the doctor. I don't have this problem with my doctor.
...I feel sorry for individuals who eat this "terrorist" soup... Governments' interest in user data is more than clear and a better story about "terrorism" could not have been constructed... Therefore, if we get the truth from Apple, let's keep our fingers crossed for them and appreciate this attitude..., if it's all a shed made for users (mankind), then we have nothing left but to watch...
+ Jaromír, that post from day... "understood" to the last point :-D
