Love it when I am proven right…at least so far. I predicted when all the brouhaha started about the FBI vs. Apple that there was probably nothing on the damn phone worth having (see story #1). I am so glad Apple fought them or we would have opened a can of worms that would give bad people the key to all our phones.
Truth be told, the FBI servers have been hacked several times. In fact, the Feds themselves admit that one such group of hackers has had access to their servers for several years! And they wanted Apple to give them the key to hack all iPhones! Right! In 15 minutes, bad guys from all over the world would have the keys to all Apple phones everywhere. The FBI and most government computers are leaking sieves. Our government bureaucracies are run by clowns!
OK, I will get off my soap box now. Looks like a nice weekend ahead and I hope you get to enjoy it. Until then, have a good read here and I hope you learn something that will be of use to you. -JRC
