The 360 | Apple and the FBI at odds over terrorist’s cellphone
The U.S. government is pressuring Apple to unlock two phones belonging to a Saudi air force officer who went on a deadly shooting rampage at a Pensacola, Fla., naval base in December.
Apple has declined to open the phones but said it had helped the investigation by handing over “many gigabytes of information” from Alshamrani’s account stored on its servers. Apple has maintained that it cannot create a “backdoor” for the FBI to access an individual phone without creating a pathway that would make all iPhones vulnerable. Privacy advocates worry that an entry point created for this case could fall into the hands of criminals, hackers or rival governments.
