FBI Demands Apple Grant Power To Hack All iPhone Users
commondreams.org
Apple says the FBI has proposed an “unprecedented use” of one of the oldest laws in the United States to force the company to hack its own users.
On February 16, a federal magistrate judge ordered Apple to help the FBI hack into the San Bernardino shooter’s phone.
All citizens agree the government should be able to have certain information for investigations, like the data of a dead violent criminal. But it is in moments like this when the government can exploit consensus to obtain power the government does not and should not have.
Using an Orwellian term for “hacking,” the judge ordered Apple to provide “reasonable technical assistance” that would include, but not be limited to: “providing the FBI with a signed iPhone software file, recovery bundle, or other software image file (SIF) that can be loaded onto the subject device.”
The SIF would load and run from random access memory (RAM) and would not “modify the iOS on the actual phone, the user data partition, or system partition on the device’s flash memory.”
The government would load the file on the subject device at a government facility or an Apple facility. If the file was loaded at an Apple facility, the company would be required to grant the government “remote access to the subject device through a computer allowing the government to conduct passcode recovery analysis.”
