DOJ Says iPhone Is So Secure They Can't Crack It

Posted by samzenpus on from the too-hard dept.

zacharye writes "In the five years since Apple launched the iPhone, the popular device has gone from a malicious hacker's dream to law enforcement's worst nightmare. As recounted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Technology Review blog, a Justice Department official recently took the stage at the DFRWS computer forensics conference in Washington, D.C. and told attendees that the beefed up security in iOS is now so good that it has become a nightmare for law enforcement."

    Hah, now that's funny - iPhone users are among the most willingly penetrated through their own back doors, but the same can't be said about the iPhones themselves.

    What the fuck is your problem? He stated "as far as I know..." which is the GOOD thing to do instead of saying "It is true that...". Nowhere did he claim that because he believe something it makes it true. It makes perfect sense to act in accordance with your beliefs (rather than what is true) because you can never know the truth with certainty.

    You, sir, are a fucking idiot.

    How can anyone believe anything coming from this corrupt, lying Obama administration agency. These people have nothing but contempt for the American people.
