Ars Technica brings us today’s shocking privacy news: ‘Apple holds the master decryption key when it comes to iCloud security, privacy’. Oh my. The story is definitely worth a rea…
This is not new to me. While this is about iCloud and not the iPhone device itself, wasn’t there news in the past where Apple didn’t want cooperate and give the FBI the master key to unlock iPhone device? According to Apple, they have a master key and won’t give it to anyone, other than unlocking devices for repair.
If that ever happens, we don’t know. Apple is an US company, so who knows. My point is, this is not new news (to me), because that is known and Apples strategy.
