It seems to be a never ending battle between Apple and FBI over the locked iPhone of a terrorist who has been involved in the shoot out. FBI has asked Apple to develop a vulnerable iOS version with Backdoor.
Apple refused to built a backdoored version of iOS as it can be exploited by any attacker if capable and it put all users privacy at risk. A Judge sided Apple and said that Government can't force an indivudual private organization to comply.
There has been many tweets and debates about the issue and few days back a sheriff stated that if Apple refuses to comply with legislation he will arrest the CEO Tim Cook.
Now FBI again stated that they need the source code of iOS and a Electronic signature. The source code they need is so that they can develop a backdoored version with which they can bypass the authentication and Electronic Signature that has been needed by iPhone to accept the modified iOS.
It has been filed and the trail is yet to complete and it seems to be a tough battle and to be frank, putting a backdoored version of iOS is similar to that of the case with #Red Star OS which has been used by North Korea for monitoring purpose.
The entire privacy will be lost if the backdoored version of iOS comes into action.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
