\"Pandora's<\/a>The U.S. government’s case against Apple to force Apple to change the iPhone’s operating system software, iOS to allow access to a terrorist’s information is an issue that impacts all of us.<\/p>\n

Even though the FBI has insisted that this is just about this case is just about a single phone, the end result would be opening Pandora’s Box<\/a> or iPhone in this case.\u00a0 Once the solution has been created, everyone will want to use it; the British, the French, the Russians, your wife’s divorce lawyer….\u00a0 And the FBI has other cases<\/a> where this might be used to compel Apple to change their product.\u00a0 And once a method has be created, it will only be a matter of time (weeks or days) before hackers have created their own version to steal your identity and bank balance.<\/p>\n
