In the Vault 7 leaks, Little Snitch was mentioned as something three letter people had problems with circumventing. I think it's worth considering whether this new attack surface is there by design:

- smnrchrds 6y agoI didn't follow up on the Reuters news piece from January titled "Exclusive: Apple dropped plan for encrypting backups after FBI complained - sources". Has it been confirmed? If yes, then your assertion is most probably correct. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusive/exclusive-apple-dropped-plan-for-encrypting-backups-after-fbi-complained-sources-idUSKBN1ZK1CT https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...
- claudeganon 6y agoThat Reuter's piece is original reporting that Apple never responded to, so I would say that it's all but confirmed that they did in fact do this at the FBI's request.
- Hermel 6y agoDo you mean “all but” literally (everything except confirmed) or colloquially (absolutely confirmed)? (I hate the term “all but”. I find it often hard to tell what people actually want to say when using it.)
- claudeganon 6y agoThe former. For it to be the latter, Apple or FBI would have to explicitly state as much.
- inquirerofsorts 6y agoWhy is this comment greyed out? It's an entirely valid question to arrive at.
- ineedasername 6y agoPossibly someone(s) not familiar with the reporting that implicates the possibility that speculation is correct.
