  • As FBI's iPhone exploit remains secret, Apple's security operation in transition

    At the end of the day, we have no proof that the FBI succeeded at anything ... we're put in the rather awkward position of having to take the FBI's word that they did so.

    I'm willing to bet that someone at Justice realized (a) the court case would be lost and (b) some PR damage control was necessary.  Viola!  They invented the story of the hacked iPhone as cover.  And of course, most of us buy it because we still believe whatever the government says is true.

    I totally agree. Google FBI Whistleblowers and you'll see how much credibility the FBI and the government have. Zilch.

    There would be nothing but downside for Apple. I could see Amazon buying it. I could see the NSA buying it.
    The NSA is neck deep with Twitter, Facebook and Google. I recently saw many links and videos disappear in a hurry when a certain politician displayed signs of a disease that affects a well known retired boxer.
