The CIA? Thought the NSA did this.
- adventured 12y agoHere's their mission statement: "Preempt threats and further US national security objectives by collecting intelligence that matters, producing objective all-source analysis, conducting effective covert action as directed by the President, and safeguarding the secrets that help keep our Nation safe." Historically the CIA and NSA have a competitive relationship, they vie for the same funding. I would think pursuing iPhone security would cross into the NSA's domain and that they wouldn't appreciate it, however the CIA has a budget 50% larger than the NSA and I'm sure they'd like to keep it that way by staying relevant.
