Recent years have brought a spike in global cyber-attacks and data breaches.

“In this age of cybersecurity and demands for ‘security by design’, the FBI and law enforcement partners need ‘lawful access by design’.”Ĭompanies such as Apple have become an increasingly appealing entity for hackers and law enforcement alike due to the vast amounts of information they hold about people. “This hinders our ability to protect the American people from criminal acts ranging from cyber-attacks and violence against children to drug trafficking, organized crime and terrorism,” the FBI said. In a statement to the Washington Post, the FBI said it was “deeply concerned” by Apple’s decision to implement end-to-end encryption of the vast majority of content stored on iCloud and said the agency needs a backdoor or another way to access that information. But the FBI has already expressed its discontent with the changes that would protect user data from being accessed by the agency. Apple declined to comment on whether the company has discussed the changes with law enforcement or government agencies. That might be a cause of concern for government agencies looking to secure user data to aid in their investigations. Their law enforcement manual shows dozens of ways that they can help with investigations and now for people who opt into the protection, there will be a safeguard going forward.” “Apple has long been in the position where it’s had to be the long arm of the police for years. “This type of protection is most valuable in protecting against not cyber criminals, but people who are abusing government power to force the company to hand over data,” Cahn said. These changes “acknowledge the massive public backlash against expanded spying on our devices”, particularly in the aftermath of the supreme court’s reversal of federal abortion protections, he said. But privacy advocates like Albert Fox Cahn, founder of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, say these changes may have a more immediate effect on the types of user data law enforcement and government agencies can get from Apple. Apple says the changes will help users protect their digital lives from hackers in the exceptional case that an advanced state actor was able to breach the company servers.
