MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Experts say Apple engineers will "almost surely" succeed in upgrading iPhone security, the newspaper said on Wednesday, stressing that it will present new challenges for law enforcement agencies.
In recent weeks, Apple has received legal requests to assist the FBI (US Federal Bureau of Investigation) in accessing the encrypted iPhone used by one of two Islamic terrorists that killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California on December 2.
Apple and a number of other technology companies, including Google, have consistently denied US law enforcement requests to create "back doors" for accessing information on their devices, arguing that creating such a mechanism would undermine the security of millions of other devices and also open up the doors to bad actors.
