We oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro\">This moment calls for public discussion, and we want our customers and people around the country to understand what is at stake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro\"><a class=\"more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/customer-letter\/answers\/\">Answers to your questions about privacy and security<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"section section-encryption\">\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"large-10 large-centered medium-12\">\n<h2 class=\"section-headline\">The Need for Encryption<\/h2>\n<p>Smartphones, led by iPhone, have become an essential part of our lives. People use them to store an incredible amount of personal information, from our private conversations to our photos, our music, our notes, our calendars and contacts, our financial information and health data, even where we have been and where we are going.<\/p>\n<p>All that information needs to be protected from hackers and criminals who want to access it, steal it, and use it without our knowledge or permission. Customers expect Apple and other\u00a0technology companies to do everything in our power to protect their personal information, and at Apple we are deeply committed to safeguarding their data.<\/p>\n<p>Compromising the security of our personal information can ultimately put our personal safety at risk. That is why encryption has become so important to all of us.<\/p>\n<p>For many years, we have used encryption to protect our customers\u2019 personal data because we believe it\u2019s the only way to keep their information safe. We have even put that data out of our own reach, because we believe the contents of your iPhone are none of our business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"section section-case\">\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"large-10 large-centered medium-12\">\n<h2 class=\"section-headline\">The San Bernardino Case<\/h2>\n<p>We were shocked and outraged by the deadly act of terrorism in San Bernardino last December. We mourn the loss of life and want justice for all those whose lives were affected. The FBI asked us for help in the days following the attack, and we have worked hard to support the government\u2019s efforts to solve this horrible crime.\u00a0We have no sympathy for terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>When the FBI has requested data that\u2019s in our possession, we have provided it.\u00a0Apple complies with valid subpoenas and search warrants, as we have in the San Bernardino case.\u00a0We have also made Apple engineers available to advise the FBI, and we\u2019ve\u00a0offered our best ideas on a number of investigative options at their disposal.<\/p>\n<p>We have great respect for the professionals at the FBI, and we believe their intentions are good. Up to this point, we have done everything that is both within our power and within the law to help them. But now the U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create. They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software \u2014 which does not exist today \u2014 would have the potential to unlock\u00a0any\u00a0iPhone in someone\u2019s physical possession.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI may use different words to describe this tool, but make no mistake: Building a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited\u00a0to this case, there is no way to guarantee such control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"section section-security\">\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"large-10 large-centered medium-12\">\n<h2 class=\"section-headline\">The Threat to Data Security<\/h2>\n<p>Some would argue that building a backdoor for just one iPhone is a simple, clean-cut solution. But it ignores both the basics of digital security and the significance of what the government is demanding in this case.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s digital world, the \u201ckey\u201d to an encrypted system is a piece of information that unlocks the data, and it is only as secure as the protections around it. Once the information is known, or a way to bypass the code is revealed, the encryption can be defeated by anyone with that knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>The government suggests this tool could only be used once, on one phone. But that\u2019s simply not true. Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices. In the physical world, it would be the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks \u2014\u00a0from restaurants and banks to stores and homes. No reasonable person would find that acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>The government is asking Apple to hack our own users and undermine decades of\u00a0security advancements that protect our customers \u2014 including tens of millions of American citizens \u2014 from sophisticated hackers and cybercriminals. The same engineers who built strong encryption into the iPhone to protect our users would, ironically, be ordered to weaken those protections and make our users less safe.<\/p>\n<p>We can find no precedent for an American company being forced to expose its customers to a greater risk of attack. For years, cryptologists and national security experts have been warning against weakening encryption. Doing so would hurt only the well-meaning and law-abiding citizens who rely on companies like Apple to protect their data. Criminals and bad actors will still encrypt, using tools that are readily available to them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"section section-precedent\">\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"large-10 large-centered medium-12\">\n<h2 class=\"section-headline\">A Dangerous Precedent<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than asking for legislative action through Congress, the FBI is proposing an unprecedented use of the All Writs Act of 1789 to justify an expansion of its authority.<\/p>\n<p>The government would have us remove security features and add new capabilities to the operating system, allowing a passcode to be input electronically. This would make it easier to unlock an iPhone by \u201cbrute force,\u201d trying thousands or millions of combinations with the speed of a modern computer.<\/p>\n<p>The implications of the government\u2019s demands are chilling. If the government can use the All Writs Act to make it easier to unlock your iPhone, it would have the power to reach into anyone\u2019s device to capture their data. The government could extend this breach of privacy and demand that Apple build surveillance software to intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone\u2019s microphone or camera without your knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Opposing this order is not something we take lightly. We feel we must speak up in the face of what we see as an overreach by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n<p>We are challenging the FBI\u2019s demands with the deepest respect for American democracy and a love of our country. We believe it would be in the best interest of everyone to step back and consider the implications.<\/p>\n<p>While we believe the FBI\u2019s intentions are good, it would be wrong for the government to force us to build a backdoor into our products. And ultimately, we fear that this demand would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"section section-tim\">\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"large-10 large-centered medium-12\">\n<p>Tim Cook<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/customer-letter\/answers\/\">Answers to your questions about privacy and security<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Have questions?<\/h4>\n<p>Get answers\u00a0from\u00a0Microsofts Cloud Solutions Partner!<br \/>\nCall us at:\u00a0856-745-9990 or visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\">https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"South Jersey Techies Website\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\">South Jersey Techies, LL C<\/a>\u00a0is a full\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies Managed Services\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\">Managed Web and Technology Services Company<\/a>\u00a0providing\u00a0IT Services,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Web Design\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/website_design.php\">Website Design Services<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Server Support\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/server_install.php\">Server Support<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Network Consulting\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/network_consulting.php\">Network Consulting<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Internet Phones\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/voip.php\">Internet Phones<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Cloud Solutions Provider\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/cloud.php\">Cloud Solutions Provider<\/a>\u00a0and much more.<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Contact\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/contact.php\">\u00a0Contact for More<\/a>\u00a0Information.<\/p>\n<p>To read this article in its entirety\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/customer-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most important Tech Case in a Decade Customer Letter &#8211; Apple February 16, 2016 A Message to Our Customers The United States government has demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens the security of our customers.
