You mean major major reports like Iraq WMDs?[1] Yeah, the press never gets major stories sourced from government sources wrong. > Why would Apple disclose that millions of their products could be hacked and you’ve lost all your privacy. Who would trust them? You've got it perfectly inverted. This is exactly why Apple would come clean if they've been hacked by a nation state and take further steps to protect their customers. Case in point: This happened to Google.[2] Can you imagine how much trust Google would destroy if they vehemently pretended that the hacking never happened? As opposed to going public ASAP with an action plan, which is what they did -- and it improved trust. These conspiracy theories are never very well thought through. Conspiracies leak.
