“…in an attempt to gain access to some information in the hours after the attack, was able to reset the password remotely, but that had the effect of eliminating the possibility of an auto-backup.”-admission by the U.S. Department of Justice
The U.S. FBI has been trying to get Apple technicians to hack into a cell phone supposedly belonging to one of the alleged San Bernardino, California, shooters. Apple is resisting that ‘request’, now the FBI demands the federal court order Apple to assist in hacking the phone.
Court documents revealed Apple data records on the specific cell phone show its iCloud password was changed, within 24 hours after the owner was shot and killed by police! The U.S. Department of Justice admitted in court that the password change was done by a San Bernardino County employee, supposedly in an attempt to protect the data. Apple techs say the password change effectively makes it impossible to retrieve any data from the phone.
Apple reps say what happened was that the iCloud password was reset in a Wi-Fi network that was not recognized as the owner’s network, thus automatically implementing an auto-reset security program which basically results in the phone’s history data being lost.
Is this a case of gross incompetence by government goons, or a deliberate coverup?
