With more on this, we have jeff pegues joining us. Jeff. Reporter scott, tonight, a top industry official tells cbs news that apple could theoretically write software to comply with the judges order, though it has never been done before. But apple says it is ready to appeal this ruling and take the fight all the way to the supreme court. Within hours of the ruling, apples c. E. O. Tim cook called the demand chilling and said that it could lead to the tech giant being forced to build Surveillance Software to intercept your messages, or even access your phones microphone or camera without your knowledge. Since syed farook and his wife tashfeen malik, the f. B. I. Has been scrubbing their electronic and internet history. The bureau determined farook and malik sympathized with isis and other islamic radicals. But the f. B. I. Has not been able to farook by his employer, which could provide key clues about his contacts and whereabouts. In court papers, the f. B. I. Says the phone may show that farook was in communication with victims who were later killed. U. S. Manual straight sheri pym ordered apple to figure out how to turn off the phones autoerase feature which wipes out the phone after 10 incorrect login attempts.

Law enforcement has been warning about the dangers of encryption for more than a year. New York Police Commissioner bill bratton we are increasingly blind, for terrorism purposes, and for general Law Enforcement purposes with the new devices and the continuing effort to make them even more secure. Reporter apple says it has been cooperating with the f. B. I. By providing information the couple backed up online. Appeal as early as next week. Pelley jeff, thanks. If this case does go to the supreme court, it could define privacy for a generation. 60 minutes talked about this issue with f. B. I. Director james comey and with apples c. E. O. Tim cook. On your smartphone today, on iphone, theres likely health information. Theres financial information. There are intimate conversations with your family, or your coworkers. Theres probably business secrets. And you should have the ability to protect it. And the only way we know how to do that is to encrypt it. Why is that . Its because if theres a way to get in, then somebody will find a way in. There have been people that suggest that we should have a back door, but the reality is if you put a back door in, that back door is for everybody, for good guys and bad guys. The notion that we would someone to place themselves beyond the law troubles me a lot. I am a big supporter of the rule of law, but as a country, i dont know why we would want to put people beyond the law. That is, sell cars with trunks that couldnt ever be opened by Law Enforcement with a court order or sell an apartment that could never be entered, even by Law Enforcement. If the government lays a proper warrant on us today, then we will give the specific information that is requested because we have to, by law. In the case of encrypted communication, we dont have it to give. And so, like your imessages are encrypted. We dont have access to those. I want to make sure as they do that peoples privacy is protected. I dont want anyone willynilly going through my phone or looking at pictures might have children but i also dont want to live in a country where the bad guys know theres a way for law gloal.

In this case, according to a source familiar with the investigation, hackers demanded, and the hospital paid an undisclosed amount in the computer currency bitcoin, which is nearly impossible to trace. Since the attack, the medical and paper and even fax machines for communications. The f. B. I.
