In which undeveloped country do you live? 2020 and you are still using credit card with magnetic strip? :-)

The FBI already put up a request for additional 11 iphones... Anyway Bill Gates discussion is just FUD because his point is misleading, so 1. he does not understand the case or 2. he has a vested interest in killing privacy

Does Bill Gates understand the case (and encryption technology) or not? This is not about Apple having the data and refusing to give it to FBI. Apple has no data and no key. It's about Apple refusing to create a software facilitating guessing weak passwords that can the be used on old iPhones.

It really depends which was the question by NBC, because most of media outlet reported a lot of wrong. This is not about Apple refusing to open something it could. Apple can't open it. It's about Apple refusing to create a software facilitating guessing weak passwords that can be used on most old iPhones. I guess the 52% for FBI was just answering a question like "Apple can open the phone and it's refusing to do it protecting the terrorist, are you with FBI or Apple?"

And CSO (where the article is hosted) is interested in spreading FUD about iOS "risks", they live on "analyzing" security threats and they have to identify risks even where there's no risk

The linked article is just FUD. It basically says that using JSPatch the App can circumvent the app sandbox, and without any technical exlication. Just Fud

If you don't trust your cloud provider then, no matter how many expert they have your data is not secure

Managers typically do not understand how software works and are not able to check what have been put into it. We may build a secret Software Engineer Bilderberg Group and rule the world!

What about compromised CPUs? If you are the NSA I think it's easier to build a backdoor into the CPU than try to keep up with ever changing software builds. Isn't it? CPUs are totally controlled by three or four U.S. companies, are closed source nobody has ever seen into it...

Yes there's no debt... and give me back my cash! It's my right! Revolution! ROFL

For the sake of democracy it would be quite interesting doing a referendum in Germany asking "Do you want to bail-out Greece at their terms"?

And given the way things works in this world some bad guys in the government will begin to sell keys in the black market to some rogue state or organization with deep pockets... You may force a backdoor but you will never be sure being the only one using it :-)

But let's be serious, how can smart people think that any serious terrorist would use gmail or facebook to discuss an attack? If Cameron/Obama "security plan" is to control cloud services then one of the two, they are very naive or they have an hidden agenda that has nothing to do with controlling terrorism...

The problem is that you can't give the capability to decrypt by law... it's open source software, so no backdoors, and if you don't have the key you can't decipher. Unless they ban linux, force everybody to use a backdoored OS and they make open source illegal. Much simpler just backdoor the HW, the processor. There's no opensource processor out there

Has someone explained to Cameron what encryption is and why can't be blocked? I mean it can be blocked, it's just block everything...
