US hacks iPhone,

ting the Obama administra-
tion against technology giant
Apple Inc. ended unexpect-
edly after the FBI said it used
a mysterious method with-
out Apple’s help to hack into
a California mass shooter’s
iPhone.
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

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.
