Leaked Memo Says Apple Provides Backdoor To Governments
- mooism2 15y agoPlease, just because Slashdot uses a biased headline, we don't have to copy that biased headline here. Should be “Leaked Memo Says RIM, Nokia, Apple, Etc Provide Backdoors To Governments”.
- GiraffeNecktie 15y agoIt would also be nice to link directly to an article that provides some actual information (e.g. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/india/have-rim-nokia-apple-provided-indian-military-with-backdoor-access-to-cellular-comm/838 http://www.zdnet.com/blog/india/have-rim-nokia-apple-provide...) rather than just to another "hacker" conversation.
- Garbage 15y agoI am sorry, but I can't see link to edit or delete my submission. :(
- mrsteveman1 15y agoAm I missing something, or does this appear to be claiming that Apple (etc...) conspired with the government of a foreign country to spy on the U.S. government? Or was the spying on the U.S. government just a happy accident in the process of spying on everyone else?
- mthtchr 15y agoI also find something amiss. If apple did provide India with secret access to confidential goverment information, would that not clearly be a treasonous act? And would that not require the immediate arrest of any apple employ involved? Things may have changed but as far as I know treason is still a capitol offense. I find both the article and the discussion on slash dot very strange.
- eslachance 15y agoSo no one really is safe. Android users have to contend with secret keyloggers, RIM, Nokia and Apple have secret backdoors, and from what I've heard even the fabled "security" of BlackBerry messenger is just a global cypher, it's not even an encryption... When will be masters of our own devices? When everythign is fully open source and free?
