The Truth About the iPhone Hack
The tech giant Apple refused to disclose the security encryption key for the cellphone of the San Bernardino terrorist. The result was a court order filed against Apple by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Apple’s refusal to cooperate with the FBI was based on a controversial principle about the personal security of an estimated 100-million iPhone users around the world. The court order was lifted when a professional hacker stepped forward and broke the code for the Feds. Proving no one’s personal information is secure in the digital age of communication and record keeping.
