A judge is ordering Apple to help the FBI unlock a cell phone owned by one of the people responsible for the San Bernardino terror attack. It’s a first-of-its-kind ruling that pits digital privacy against national security interests.
A U.S. magistrate has ordered Apple to help the Obama administration hack into an encrypted iPhone belonging to one of the shooters in the December attack that killed 14 in San Bernardino, California. The ruling requires Apple to supply software the FBI can load onto Syed Farook’s work iPhone to bypass a self-destruct
feature, which erases the phone’s data after too many unsuccessful attempts to unlock it.
Apple has five days to notify the court if it believes the ruling is unreasonably burdensome.
