A federal judge in the United States on Tuesday ordered Apple to help the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to unlock and access your iPhone used by one of the two authors of the shooting December in San Bernardino (California), where they died 14 people.
According to the order issued by Judge Sheri Pym, Apple shall provide the FBI of "reasonable support" to enter the mobile, which primarily phone data translates to "I hack" to disable the security system which eliminates if the correct code is entered after several attempts.
If Apple manages to disable this feature, federal investigators can try as many combinations as necessary for personal security code iPhone without fear of data loss and when to give the correct access to the mobile and all the information it contains.
The phone was operated by Syed Farook, one of the authors of the massacre, although it is owned by his employer, the administration of the County of San Bernardino, which has already consented to the registration.
Since September 2014, data from the majority of Apple devices are encrypted and they can only be accessed with a password. If an incorrect code is entered ten times, the device automatically deletes all data.
"The government is asking Apple to pirate our users and to undermine decades of progress on safety and security," Cook said in the statement.
"Opposing this order is not something we do lightly. We have to deal with what we believe to be an abuse of the US government, "he said.
