Left unanswered, however, were questions about how the sudden development would affect privacy in the future, and what happens the next time the government is frus- trated by digital security lock- out features. Government prosecutors asked a federal judge on Mon- day to vacate a disputed order forcing Apple to help the FBI break into the iPhone, saying it was no longer necessary. The FBI used the unspec- L¿HGWHFKQLTXHWRDFFHVVGDWD on an iPhone used by gun- man Syed Farook, who died with his wife in a gun battle with police after they killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, in December. The Justice Department said agents are now reviewing the information on the phone. But the government’s brief FRXUW ¿OLQJ LQ 86 'LVWULFW Court for the Central Dis- trict of California, provided no details about how the FBI got into the phone. Nor did it identify the non-government “outside party” that showed agents how to get past the phone’s security defenses. Authorities had previously said only Apple had the abil- ity to help them unlock the phone. Apple responded by say- ing it will continue to increase the security of its products. “We will continue to help law enforcement with their investigations, as we have done all along,” the company added in a statement, while reiterating its argument that the government’s demand for Apple’s help was wrong. “This case should never have been brought,” the com- pany said. FBI Assistant Director David Bowdich said Monday that examining the iPhone was part of the authorities’ effort to learn if the San Bernardino shooters had worked with others or had targeted any RWKHU YLFWLPV ³, DP VDWLV¿HG that we have access to more answers than we did before,” he said in a statement. The dispute had ignited D ¿HUFH ,QWHUQHWHUD QDWLRQDO debate that pitted digital pri- vacy rights against national security concerns and rein- vigorated discussion over the impact of encryption on law enforcement’s ability to serve the public. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Cali- fornia, said in a statement that while it was “preferable” that the government gained access to the iPhone without Apple’s help, the fundamental ques- tion of the extent to which the government should be able to access personal information remains unanswered. Issa, a critic of the admin- istration’s domestic surveil- lance practices, said the gov- ernment’s legal action against Apple raised constitutional and privacy questions and that “those worried about our privacy should stay wary” because this doesn’t mean “their quest for a secret key into our devices is over.” The surprise development punctured the temporary per- ception that Apple’s security might have been good enough to keep consumers’ personal information safe even from the U.S. government. And while the Obama administration created a pol- icy for disclosing such secu- rity vulnerabilities to compa- nies, the policy allows for a vulnerability to be kept secret if there is a law enforcement or national security rationale for doing so. The withdrawal of the court process also takes away Apple’s ability to legally request details on the method the FBI used in this case. Apple attorneys said last week that they hoped the govern- ment would share that infor- mation with them if it proved successful. The Justice Depart- ment wouldn’t comment on any future disclosure of the method to Apple or the public.

Jay Kaplan, a former NSA computer expert who’s now &(2 RI F\EHUVHFXULW\ ¿UP Synack, said it is likely Apple will pursue avenues to fur- ther lock down their operating systems and hardware, espe- cially as a result of the pub- lic announcement of some new technique to crack their phones.
