Echoing Apple’s arguments against Department of Justice overtures in the high-profile San Bernardino attack investigation, today’s decision noted the “unreasonable burden” in inventing, coding and distributing a purposely vulnerable operating system in hopes of cracking existing device security.    Continue reading “Federal judge rules Apple cannot be forced to aid in NY iPhone unlocking, cites ‘unreasonable burden’”
