Before we talk about future dangers, you need to understand what is happening now in the US: the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) asked Apple to hack an iPhone involved in the attacks in San Bernardino in 2015 – the day 2 December, 14 people were killed and 22 were seriously injured in a terrorist attack at the Inland Regional Center. To break the security of the iPhone, Tim Cook’s company would have to develop a rogue software.
Apple publicly commented that create this level program could “be an unprecedented step that threatens the safety of consumers. ” So it’s going legal battle between Apple and FBI. Now a court in the US has ordered Apple to break the security protections on the iPhone involved in the attacks.
A new software that breaks the security of iPhones, even if it is returned for one device, opens a range of possibilities all happy for IFAS. In the same statement quoted above, Cook said that the tool is “too dangerous to be created” which could jeopardize years of security work to protect billions of smartphones.
while Apple calls out the danger, the Government says that the software will not cause problems for other iOS gadgets. The question that remains is: who is right? A firmware update can be dangerous as well?
Obviamente, alerts on a surveillance state created by government tools often pop up now and then on the internet and in the news. However, the danger here is another:. Crackers, which, unlike hackers, commit crimes for the sake of their own benefit
The lock screen is the main iPhone protection tool . Were years of updates and Apple’s studies to reach the current level. Today, when an iOS is stolen gadget, internal data are hardly accessible -. It is easier to clean the machine completely
No Ultimately
It is imperative: no system is impenetrable. As hard as it is to access, the presence of tools such as the FBI want to increase the possibility of invasion. Everything goes to new software being developed by Apple. And if the iPhone will be safe, depends on which hand will manage the hacker tool.
The FBI is right to ask for Apple access to the iPhone? Comment on TecMundo Forum
