In light of the revelation that the CIA is able to use pretty much ANY wireless device to spy on the American people without their knowledge or consent or judicial writ...
Is it time for Congress to open an investigation and start bringing intelligence officials to testify under oath?
"National security" like hell. When our own government is sabotaging (there is no other word for it) technology at the source so that they can tap into the cameras and microphones on smartphones and tablets and even television sets and game consoles, they have gone way WAY too far.
This needs to go on record.

Rush Limbaugh will confirm that.

Proof? It took the government six months to unlock a three year old iPhone 5c using an older version of iOS in the San Bernardino terrorist case just last year. A lot of what was revealed was older vulnerabilities for a lot of old iPhones and old versions of iOS. It's not for up-to-date versions.

It’s always the one you don’t see coming that gets you.
To: ImJustAnotherOkie
yeah sure- as safe as we thought we were before it was revealed that we’re not actually safe-
The government had whole divisions set up to hack citizen’s devices and create malware to exploit vulnerabilities- it was a massive effort to spy on Americans- They aren;t about to give that up now- They will simply find more ways to do it-

Cell phone security is a real problem but Apple really is farther along than most others.

To: Swordmaker
Mostly because Apple has a lot of people inside and outside the company that look for vulnerabilities in iOS itself (doesn't Apple have a bounty program to find bugs and security issues?).
In fact, that's why it was so hard to get at the information from the iPhone owned by the San Bernardino shooter--it took some very expensive and specialize equipment just to break the full-device encryption, and even then not all the data was recovered.
