Edward Snowden: Apple iPhone with Secret iFeature Allows Government to Spy on You.

Tech Times | January 24



Edward Snowden, the infamous former contractor for the National Security Agency who leaked thousands of pages of previously classified NSA intelligence documents, reportedly thinks that Apple's iPhone has "special software" that authorities can activate remotely to be able to gather information about the user.

"Edward never uses an iPhone; he's got a simple phone," said the lawyer of Snowden, Anatoly Kucherena, in an interview with the Russian media company RIA Novosti.

"The iPhone has special software that can activate itself without the owner having to press a button and gather information about him; that's why on security grounds he refused to have this phone," Kucherena added.

It is not clear if the "special software" being referred to in the interview is made up of standard diagnostic tools, or if the NSA whistleblower thinks intelligence agencies from the United States have found a way to compromise the mobile operating system developed by Apple.

Apple was among the first companies accused of participating in the PRISM data mining project of the NSA, following the release by Snowden of the agency's classified documents. The project reportedly involved extracting video, audio, pictures, documents, emails and connection logs from devices, allowing analysts to track the movement of the device's user and the communications that they are receiving or sending out.

At the time, the accusations were immediately denied by Apple, stating that the company is not involved in the supposed PRISM project and that it does not grant government agencies direct access to the company's servers.

Succeeding leaks showed that the NSA developed spyware that would target iPhones, allowing intelligence agencies to access messages, live microphone feeds, data contained in the devices and location data. While it was not made clear whether the program was a success, Apple again denied being involved in the development of such a spyware.

Apple said that the company has never been involved with the NSA in the creation of backdoor software for any of the company's products. In addition, Apple said that it is not aware of any alleged programs by the NSA to target the company's products such as the iPhone, as the company values the security and privacy of its users.

For the latest iOS 8 used by Apple on its mobile devices, the company said that it was not possible for Apple itself to decrypt the messages that were sent through their devices, adding to the company's supposed emphasis on the security of its users.

Only in your reality. Like everything else you delude yourself with.

If only you were capable of normal conversation Finspoogy.
It used to be normal to throw virgins in volcanoes. In time, people will look back at what transpires today and think of it as barbaric.

You are the person that on one hand says you oppose coercion, then on the other hand you embrace it.

I can only assume you boys agree with my sentiments and think that the FBI is wrong, which leads to only one conclusion. You are trolling, and doing a very poor job of it.

FDD/sheskunk, I know I struck a nerve with you, and I am so fucking erect right now because I did. You cry like a little bitch to mods and you follow me around like a dog in heat. You want to taste my ass so bad.

Rob Roy, go make me a sammich. Put up or shut up.

*****:lol:

Nope. I have a massive erection over the fact you are a butt hurt pile of worthless shit who cries to mods and adds absolutely nothing of value to this forum, and I suspect life in general.

Go cry a river somewhere else bitch.

None of this has to do with comments. If you simply stopped replying to me, all this hurt you have would go away. But I suspect you actually enjoy being butt hurt and you enjoy my attention, because for some odd reason you want to taste my ass.

Is that it bitch? You wanna taste my ass? Did jail not satisfy all your needs?
