I can the Government Force attack company to hack its own code a federal judge wants apple to do just that attempts to get into San Bernardino shooters sia la i phone had been unsuccessful. The fbi wants apple to create software to help with the process but that doesnt settle well with apple ceo tim cook.

So after hearing all of that you may be wondering how exactly does i phone encryption work and how do other tech experts feel about the fbi asking apple to disable it. Alicia easy for him he is here illegally you want to explain this to us huge talker very confusing but i can tell you this right now i phone users have the option to set a security feature that only allows a certain number of tries to guess that correct password to unlock the phone before all the dead on the phone is deleted. Its a security measure apple put in place to keep importing data out of the wrong hands. Well federal prosecutors looking for more information behind the San Bernardino shootings coat now if they guess incorrectly too many times the data they hope to find will be deleted. Thats why the fbi wants apple to disable the security feature once the security is crippled agency would be able to get as many combinations as possible and today i talked to the local Cyber Security firm for some context.
