Apple CEO Tim Cook is getting support from technology and information security firms in his refusal to help the FBI to hack into an iPhone used by San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook.
Google, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter have all come out in support of
Apple’s refusal to hack into an iPhone 5C running iOS9 used by San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook.
A US judge has
ordered Apple to create a custom
firmware file to enable the FBI to bypass or disable the auto-erase function and
brute force crack Farook’s iPhone passcode to access and decrypt data stored on the device, but the company says it will contest the order.
