Apple’s CEO criticized late on Wednesday (early on Thursday in Portugal) the fact that only have known “by the media” the requirement FBI for your company crisis as a “back door” that give them access to encrypted data on iPhones. In his first public interview since rejected that requirement, even promised to fight it in court.
“I do not think that we should manage it that way,” said Tim Cook in an interview with ABC, broadcast on American television . “I do not think that such an important thing for the country as it should be managed in this way,” he said.
close to the investigation Source of US agency denies this version, saying the same channel that “just it is not true, “and ensuring that Apple’s legal team was” the first to know “the FBI’s willingness to unlock the iPhone Syed Rizwan Farook, the Pakistani descent of American who, in December, killed 14 people shot in San Bernardino , declaring himself a sympathizer of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (Daesh).
according to “the New York Times,” Apple is already working to strengthen the security of their devices, making it harder attacks hackers. The paper says that these improvements to be implemented in the new iPhone models, will “make it impossible” that Apple help US authorities to create what Cook calls the “back door” – an “equivalent software to cancer “that opens a” serious precedent “and that puts at risk the safety and privacy of any Apple user.
There are three days,” National Public Radio “advanced that on 70 different occasions in the past,” there were situations “equal to that, a week ago, opened this war between Apple and the US Department of Justice, and that, in all of them, the company” decided to accept the court order “to allow the government access to encrypted data on iPhones. The guarantee was left by Susan Hennessey, a lawyer who worked at the National Security Agency (NSA) who now works at the Brookings Institute.

On the contrary, he points to “Fortune” magazine, most cyber users who have spoken about it defends the attitude of Apple.
In response to the refusal of Tim Cook to create a software to circumvent the encryption data iPhone Farook, the government accused the company of being more interested than marketing to combat terrorism. In response to these accusations, the San Bernardino Police Department blamed the FBI for the disappearance of device data – saying that, in the shooting aftermath of this California county, the federal agency demanded a technical police to do reset the password iCloud Farook.
