If this MacRumor's article doesn't scare you, it should. It proves Apple's contention that government systems are not secure enough to trust with a security back door, but apparently the only ones who were suprised are the NSA, FBI, and Congress.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

This pretty much says it all:

Apple: If we're forced to build a tool to hack iPhones, someone will steal it.

FBI: Nonsense.

Russia: We just published NSA's hacking tools.
