court order: Apple decision to fight a court order to unlock an iPhone belonging to one of the terrorists involved in the San Bernardino, California, attack last year is just the latest example of the dangerous divide between Washington and Silicon Valley, according to CNN. Mike Rogers Jason Grumet The FBI was unable to access the encrypted smartphone to map the terrorist connections to ISIS and find any other accomplices in the United States, so the government sought help from the tech giant. The opinions expressed in this commentary are theirs. While details of this specific phone are not known, the iPhone in general has built-in security features that will erase the phone data after a certain number of unsuccessful log-in attempts.
