#FBI stymied by Apple's #LockdownMode after seizing journalist's #iPhone
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has so far been unable to access data from a #WashingtonPost reporter's iPhone because it was protected by Apple's Lockdown Mode when agents seized the device from the reporter's home, the US government said in a court filing.

#apple #security #privacy #journalismLockdown Mode is nice for blocking spam, and while it may have decent protection against attacks when the phone is locked as is claimed, it might be worth taking additional precautions:
* disable face ID or fingerprint unlock
* use a passcode with more than 8 characters
* enable erasing data after 10 failed attempts
* enable Advanced Data Protection, or disable iCloud backups altogether -

#apple #security #privacy #journalism@PrivacyDigest as much as this is cool and all don’t think this will last. All this is will lead to is doj putting more pressure on Apple to hand over all our data to the feds. Cook is a coward and will suck off Donald in an instant if he asks for it - so I see massive pressure headed cooks way to give up the keys. Stymied. Lmao yeah, sure.
