Tomas Chlebek Isikhathi sokugcina sibhala ngodaba lapho i-FBI yacela i-Apple ithuluzi lokufinyelela ama-iPhone amaphekula yilapho eqhamuka khona. ulwazi oluthuthukisiwe mayelana nokuthi i-FBI yangena kanjani kuleyo iPhone. Kodwa-ke, eminye imibiko ivele ibuzwa ukuthi ngubani osize i-FBI. Noma ngabe bekungubani, manje sekukhishwe izibalo ezikhombisa ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US ucele usizo lwemininingwane yakwa-Apple engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka odlule kaningi kunangaphambili.
Ngemuva kolwazi mayelana nokwephulwa okuphumelelayo kokuvikelwa kwe-iPhone yamaphekula ekuhlaselweni kwaseSan Bernardino, e-USA, kubhekwe ukuthi kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi i-FBI yasizwa yinkampani yakwa-Israel i-Cellebrite. Kodwa ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule The Washington Post ocashuniwe imithombo engaziwa, ngokusho ukuthi i-FBI iqashe abaduni abangochwepheshe, okuthiwa "izigqoko ezimpunga". Babheka iziphazamisi kukhodi yohlelo futhi bathengise ulwazi mayelana nalezo abazitholayo.
Kulokhu, umthengi kwakuyi-FBI, eyabe isidala idivayisi esebenzisa iphutha kusofthiwe ye-iPhone ukuze iphule ukukhiya kwayo. Ngokusho kwe-FBI, isiphazamisi kusofthiwe singasetshenziswa kuphela ukuhlasela i-iPhone 5C nge-iOS 9. Akuwona wonke umphakathi noma i-Apple engakanikezi ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nesiphazamisi.
UJohn McAfee, umdali we-antivirus yokuqala yezentengiso, i-athikili ku The Washington Post uhlaselwe. Uthe noma ubani angacaphuna "imithombo engaziwa" futhi kuwubuwula ukuthi i-FBI iphendukele "ku-underworld" esikhundleni se-Cellebrite. Uphinde waveza futhi wayichitha imibono yokuthi i-FBI isize i-Apple uqobo, kodwa akazange asho noma yimiphi imithombo engowayo.
Ngokuqondene nedatha yangempela abaphenyi abayithola ku-iPhone yamaphekula, i-FBI yathi kuphela iqukethe ulwazi eyayingenalo ngaphambili. Lokhu kufanele ikakhulukazi kukhathaze imizuzu eyishumi nesishiyagalombili ngemva kokuhlasela, lapho i-FBI yayingazi ukuthi amaphekula ayekuphi. Idatha etholwe ku-iPhone kuthiwa isize i-FBI ukuthi ikhiphe ukuthi amaphekula ayexhumana namalungu omndeni noma inhlangano yamaphekula e-ISIS ngaleso sikhathi.
Nokho, kuseyimpicabadala ukuthi amaphekula ayenzani ngaleso sikhathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iqiniso lokuthi idatha ye-iPhone kuze kube manje isetshenziselwe ukuphikisa othintana nabo abangamaphekula baseSan Bernardino kuqinisa umbono wokuthi ibingenalo ulwazi oluwusizo.
Inkinga yokuvikela nokuhlinzeka ngemininingwane kuhulumeni nayo iyathinteka Umlayezo we-Apple ngezicelo zikahulumeni zolwazi lwabasebenzisi engxenyeni yesibili ka-2015. Lesi yisikhathi sesibili kuphela i-Apple iyikhipha, ngaphambili yayingavunyelwe ngokomthetho. Umlayezo ovela ku ingxenye yokuqala ka-2015 ibonisa ukuthi iziphathimandla zezokuphepha zicele i-Apple ukuthi inikeze ulwazi phakathi kwama-akhawunti angu-750 no-999. I-Apple yathobela, okungukuthi inikeze okungenani ulwazi oluthile, emacaleni angama-250 kuye kwangama-499. Engxenyeni yesibili ka-2015, kube nezicelo eziphakathi kwe-1250 ne-1499, futhi i-Apple inikeze phakathi kwamacala ayi-1000 kanye ne-1249.
Akucaci ukuthi yini imbangela yokwanda kwezicelo. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi ingxenye yokuqala yonyaka odlule yayiphansi ngokungavamile enanini lezicelo ezinephutha zolwazi oluvela kuma-akhawunti ekhasimende le-Apple. Ngeshwa, idatha yeminyaka yangaphambili akwaziwa, ngakho-ke lokhu kungacatshangwa kuphela.
