Let's just say the Bloomberg reporting is accurate for the sake of discussion. They claimed it wasn't ONLY Apple, but also the NSA, CIA, military and other critical defense/intelligence systems used some of these boards. Do we think those "entities" wouldn't do whatever they had to do in order to keep that secret, legal or not, to preserve national security? What would the public response be if everyone knew our major national security systems were breached? I think it would cause a panic immensely larger than if we knew Apple was breached. I do agree with others that Apple has a hell of a lot to lose if this story proves to be true, but I think that's really more of a footnote compared to what will happen if the article proves to be true in its entirety. The data Apple has is nowhere near as critical as the data the NSA/CIA/MIC have.
