Should I goto Sony to get my decrypted data off my VIO?
'The ATF's Maynard said in an affidavit for the Kentucky case that Apple "has the capabilities'
The ATF's Maynard said "Apple has the capabilities"
Apple never said this
There is no direct quote from Apple in this article.
What about the privacy policy which states that apple may disclose the information to law enforcement?
The privacy policy that's referred to is about information you provide to Apple.
Not personal private information that's on your personal device.
There was talk about linking the passcode lock to iCloud
But I don't think Apple has done that yet.
That code is local on the device.
Apple or anyone would need to have possession of the device.
Any software encryption can be broken
It doesn't have to be done by the manufacturer.
What is the seven week delay for? and the waiting list?
Someone said that Apple said blah blah blah.
"according to a report from CNET" (on the MacRumors article).
and then "ATF says" )in the article from CNET)
not according to Apple
Apple didn't say anything about a 7 week delay.
Are you sure this isn't from Fox news?
This quote "bypass the security software" is from ATF
Apple would have to decrypt it just like anyone else.
They don't have a code to enter.
Apple doesn't have decryption software
but anyone could write it.
it's not Apple liability.
Apple didn't claim to be able to do that for anyone.
I developed a comparison to illustrate the misconception here.
if you bought a Sony VIO and stored all your personal data on it and encrypted it, and you are a terrorist, and the FBI finds your computer.
Is the FBI going to go to Sony to get the device decrypted?
No!
They are going to have their own forensic people, or...
They are going to go to Disk Savers
So why put Apple in the spotlight?
it's just bad PR that's all, it's not even about the passcode lock, it's just bad PR.
