Judge Forces Apple to Help Unlock San Bernardino Shooter iPhone
- ceejayoz 11y ago> The judge ruled Tuesday that the Cupertino-based company had to provide "reasonable technical assistance" to the government in recovering data from the iPhone 5c, including bypassing the auto-erase function and allowing investigators to submit an unlimited number of passwords in their attempts to unlock the phone. Apple has five days to respond to the court if it believes that compliance would be "unreasonably burdensome." Somehow I doubt any of that's possible.
