San Bernadino D.A. Says Shooter's Phone Could Harbor "Cyber Pathogen" (theguardian.com)
Mr.Intel writes with the Guardian's report that : San Bernadino D.A. has a novel argument for why Apple should be forced to provide the FBI with tools to decrypt the iPhone once used by mass-shooter Syed Rizwan Farook: a "dormant cyber pathogen," he says, could have been unleashed by the county's electronic infrastructure, and only by examining the phone's content can any really be sure. From the article: The questionable claim comes from Ramos's amicus brief in the case, filed with the US District Court on Thursday afternoon. In it, Ramos supports the FBI's argument that Apple should be compelled to build a one-use version of its operating system to load on to the seized phone – used by the mass-murderer, but still technically property of his employer, San Bernardino county – in order to weaken the security and allow the Government to brute-force the shooter's passcode. ... Ramos said: 'The iPhone is a county owned telephone that may have connected to the San Bernardino County computer network. The seized iPhone may contain evidence that can only be found on the seized phone that it was used as a weapon to introduce a lying dormant cyber pathogen that endangers San Bernardino County's infrastructure and poses a continuing threat to the citizens of San Bernardino County'.
The ONLY CURE for a "lying dormant cyber pathogen" is for the phone to be boiled in holy water.
a lying dormant cyber pathogen that endangers San Bernardino County's infrastructure and poses a continuing threat to the citizens of San Bernardino County'.
San Bernardino D.A. admitted he made the whole thing up.
making him a lycanthropic doormat carbon-based pathological lying golem that endangers San Bernardino County's infrastructure and poses a continuing threat to the citizens of San Bernardino County.
<blink>down the rabbit hole</blink>

Look, we know they had guns. That's just the part we know about.
What we *don't* know is whether these nefarious masterminds also had a cyber malworm with nuclearized darkweb spearphishing viruses that could use long-blockchain cloud replication vectors to infect all the computers in San Bernadino AND THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THEM!!
Only by decrypting the phone can we be 100% sure it doesn't contain such a doomsday "cyber pathogen."

That is more probable than you think and potentially another of the reasons why the terrorist wanted to kill infidels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It could have anything.
Let's unlock it because it "could have":
1/ The secret to unlimited green energy
2/ A list of the sporting records for the next century
3/ A picture of a cat in a box
4/ The entire global drug supply network's name and addresses
5/ The location of the largest weapons grade plutonium deposit in the universe
6/ The source code for Windows 22
7/ Nothing at all interesting
FFS: make a decent case as to what it probably has.
Asian people will eat anything. They are disgusting.

We eat what keeps us alive. Asians have an odd diet due to what's available, Japanese eat anything out of the sea, and the United States will eat anything disguised as meat.
Colin Powell will be warning the UN General Assembly about it later this week, and plans to show them a vial of deadly cyber pathogen to prove it!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
That phone could also contain:
- The solution to a number of longstanding open mathematical problems
- The answer to the ultimate question about Life, Universe and Everything
- Proof to put Snowden and friends in jail forever
- The undeniable identity of JFK murderer
- A tiny piece of code that could make windows much faster than Linux
We do all need to unlock that phone, definitely!
