So, it has a malware ? On an Iphone, not possible ;-). MAybe he's thinking of own Android phone.
Also, anyone with that much access to this office could have planted 50 different things and if finding them out is dependent on access to this phone, even though they ddin't need it to do the hack, well they're screwed anyway.
It's funny how by their description those terrorists are both master hackers and cyber idiots at the same time. This dissonnance doesn't phase them AT ALL.
Apple: "Um, why didn't you just take the phone to the office and let it backup to iCloud?" FBI: "Uhhh... Well it could have a dormant cyber pathogen on it. Yeah, that's it..." Apple: "Ummmm... What?" FBI: "Yeah, you know... So we changed the Apple ID password too..." Apple: "You guys can't possibly be this retarded..."
I'd rather believe a pig can fly than this bs matter. Seriously, what hole was this guy coming from?
does he have an election to fight in november?
If so then AFAIK, that gives him carte-blance to make all sorts of silly statements in order to bamboozle the voters. This is SOP for just about every politician on the planet btw.
I heard that the phone actually has pictures of Bigfoot
As well photos of the "real killers" of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of O. J. Simpson. Reportedly the iPhone also contains close up photos of UFOs. a map of the locations of Judge Crater's body and Jimmy Hoffa's final location.
My recommendation would be to cryogenically freeze this iPhone next to where Walt Disney's frozen head is stored until science progresses to where it can be safely unlocked as part of a middle school class project 100 years in the future.
It's hard to take the government's side seriously when this tripe is coming out. I want to believe that they're just trying to catch criminals, but obvious (to me, at least) scare tactics make me question their motives.
Dormant = not active. It sounds ominous, but really means nothing. In fact, it's better than it's inactive than it is active. Cyber = internet or web. Again, choosing a more ominous word for something common. Pathogen = virus or worm. Again, a pretty common thing with a very ominous name.
So dormant cyber pathogen = computer virus.
So all the statement says is that there might be an inactive computer virus on the phone. That sounds odd, too, but at least it's something we've all had to deal with. From "dormant cyber virus", we're meant to let our imaginations fill in the ominous sounding words with doomsday scenarios like taking down the power grid or something.
Exactly, except the idiot DA forgot to check why iPhones never get viruses. Maybe his jerko-buddies at the FBI can man-splain it to him.
C'mon really? Noooo body? That's actually good because I too like a good laugh at the interactions of government, but it is made up of people who are less than perfect like me, like you too... but I do believe that when it comes to clear terrorism, and the death of innocents, we all agree there's Nothing to laugh at for these victims, those in Paris, Turkey, and around the world. It is an equal opportunity destroyer, and must be stopped by us all, in how we act, what we say, and ultimately how we think... because all actions first happen in the mind. So peace to you all, thanks for playin', be safe, and take care of each other...;O
How about we stop 'our' western nations from invading other countries to grab their resources, murdering however many thousands - even one person is too many! - thereby putting an end to the creation of terrorism? Huh?
Well?
And 'we' start making reparations! Yes - because it's the right thing to do.
if you truly believe terrorism must be stopped, how about focussing on the cause, and not the red-herring, panic-inducing fearmongering of those who obviously have a vested interest in destroying a threat to their power.
It looks like the "dormant cyber pathogen" has already undergone computer to human transfer. That is the most plausible reason why the DA is hopping mad. His blood stream is full of this "cyber pathogen"!

this guy says the phone

contain...
malware.
Sounds like he needs to go after the Google Play Store instead.
Seriously.
they are just fishing for ANYTHING now. Make believe or not.
