Apple intends to challenge American court decisionobliged the smartphone maker to help investigators access information from Said Farouk’s phone, which устроил shooting at San Bernardino.

“The United States government has asked Apple to take an unprecedented step that threatens the safety of our customers,” Chief Executive Tim Cook said in a statement.

“We disagree with this decision, which will have consequences far beyond the scope of this lawsuit,” Tim Cook concluded.

The company stressed that access to information from the iPhone can be obtained only by a person who knows the password from the device. If you enter an incorrect password in 10, the device is automatically blocked and the information contained in it is deleted. Apple says that even company employees do not have access to information on the phone.

Earlier, a US court ruled that company representatives should help the FBI investigators bypass security protocols and access messages on Said Faruk’s phone.

Investigators are confident that extremely important information is stored on the phone.

In particular, the FBI wants Apple engineers to remove the limit on the number of attempts to enter a password, as well as help create a program that will automatically iterate over all possible combinations with high speed.
