POLICE STATE: CIA Spent Years Trying To Crack Apple iPhones, iPads...

[thanatos144]

Good ole Government. Always looking out for us. Think Big Brother is your friend... Well, think again.


Researchers working with the Central Intelligence Agency have conducted a multi-year, sustained effort to break the security of Apple’s iPhones and iPads, according to top-secret documents obtained byThe Intercept.

The security researchers presented their latest tactics and achievements at a secret annual gathering, called the “Jamboree,” where attendees discussed strategies for exploiting security flaws in household and commercial electronics. The conferences have spanned nearly a decade, with the first CIA-sponsored meeting taking place a year before the first iPhone was released.

By targeting essential security keys used to encrypt data stored on Apple’s devices, the researchers have sought to thwart the company’s attempts to provide mobile security to hundreds of millions of Apple customers across the globe. Studying both “physical” and “non-invasive” techniques, U.S. government-sponsored research has been aimed at discovering ways to decrypt and ultimately penetrate Apple’s encrypted firmware. This could enable spies to plant malicious code on Apple devices and seek out potential vulnerabilities in other parts of the iPhone and iPad currently masked by encryption.

The CIA declined to comment for this story.

The security researchers also claimed they had created a modified version of Apple’s proprietary software development tool, Xcode, which could sneak surveillance backdoors into any apps or programs created using the tool. Xcode, which is distributed by Apple to hundreds of thousands of developers, is used to create apps that are sold through Apple’s App Store...

The problem with a bureaucratic police state is that if the government decides you are doing something wrong, they are going to find it, even if it isn't there.

Totalitarians have this really bad habit of finding what they are looking for.

Now every citizen of our country is being treated like a nest of criminals, and that should scare the living shit out of everyone.

THAT is why we have a Fourth Amendment.

Yup, guilty till proven innocent. It's not what America is about.

 

[Dot Com]

Sounds more like something NSA would be doing than CIA.

If you want privacy, my advice is don't use wireless communications/computers because it isn't secure.

So does this mean you are okay with our government spying on us?

As a matter of fact I am. I have nothing to hide. Do you?

Do you have any idea why we have a Fourth Amendment? Do you know what motivated our Founders to put it in the Constitution?

Can you even explain why the attitude of, "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about" is an incredibly dangerous and stupid one?

we are living in the post- *cough* "patriot " act MURICA. 4th Amendment is a mere nuisance to Big Gov't created under the last Repub President.

 

[Dot Com]

It is worth noting that the big bad gov't isn't interested in Polly's broken record threads here. Its prolly all he talks about IRL as well hence him being relegated to the basement.

No, created and sustained by both Democrats and Republicans. But i do agree, the Patriot Act is the most Un-Patriotic act ever committed against the American People. Too bad your Democrats haven't abolished it, along with the NSA.

Still stalking every single one of my threads ay? You seem pretty interested in em. I mean, you could always exit the thread and never return to another thread of mine. See, you have options. You have some freedom left.

Foolish. You would be wise to NEVER trust government.

Governments love people like you. They will find something if they want to.

Lavrenti Beria, Stalin’s notorious secret police chief, once said, “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”

Learn from history...

Nah, you have to fight back instead. Sitting back and allowing it, makes you complicit in it.

As if there's anything you can do about it, and when they crack the iPad of the terrorist you want dead, you'll be all smiles, you just don't want them browsing your porn. Well, too fucking bad.

So you Communist/Progressive Authoritarians say. Go figure?

He's a complete nut.... probably locked away in a straightjacket in a rubber room typing away with his nose...

because its common knowledge that they're "all-in" when it comes to funding the intel industrial complex. Do you deny that kiddo?

First, don't call me kiddo. It sounds very gay and condescending. And second, you're making me even more skeptical of your claim. You only mention Republicans. So, are you a liar? Right now, i gotta go with yes.

Abolish the CIA and the NSA. They are unnecessary and frighteningly dangerous. History clearly tells us this.

Do you really think someone in Istanbul can harm the USA?

Remember Ben Franklin's words of warning.

So we should never gather intelligence ? by the way there are laws about the CIA and NSA investigating american citizens you know.

Oh please. Where have you been these passed so many decades? The CIA and NSA are total failures and endanger our nation and our people.

Read the fourth amendment. If the Constitution was the law of the land, the CIA and NSA could not spy on any American anywhere in the world.

Total failures???? Really? By the way they can and will spy on americans on foreign soil because that's how you catch traitors. They cant do it in side the borders...Your paranoia with NO EVIDENCE to support it other then a traitor like snowden tells me more about you then them. The problem isn't with the agencies but with over site and that YOU put in office.

The CIA has become reactive and has evolved into the muscle of (usually) democrat administrations. JFK illegally used the CIA to raise, equip and train a Cuban invasion army and then he chickened out in the most embarrassing intelligence failure to date. LBJ disregarded advice from the Generals during Vietnam and relied on the CIA to dictate strategy. How did that work out? Bill Clinton's National Security adviser Sandy Berger became a thief by stealing documents from the National Archives to cover his boss's criminal negligence. The so-called "investigative reporters" in the liberal media weren't interested. Democrats got a political boost when a CIA agent released details of an assignment in Iraq in order to discredit a republican president and his wife falsely claimed she was "outed" by the Bush administration when she was introduced as a CIA agent in the never ending cycle of D.C. cocktail parties. CIA chiefs are often chosen as political payback (Leon Pannetta) rather than their intelligence skills.

You are very naive.
