San Bernardino Apple

2016-03-05 00:42:26.585392+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Ars Technica: San Bernardino DA says seized iPhone may hold “dormant cyber pathogen”: He says iPhone might be "a weapon" to trigger some nefarious worm of some sort.

Yep. These are our elected officials, making law enforcement decisions.

RT Nick Johnston ‏@NickInfoSec:

Maybe it's good the phone is locked. It means the cyber pathogen is quarantined. All the more reason to not unlock it.

RT matt blaze ‏@mattblaze:

Cyber pathogens are so unspeakably dangerous that the open research community has wisely never published a single paper about them.

And, summing up this whole Apple vs FBI thing: RT Jonathan Ździarski ‏@JZdziarski:

Imagine the FBI had a witness, then they took that witness and shot them in the head. Then blamed the medical examiner. That’s #FBIvsApple.
