Looks like the FBI vs. Apple saga isn’t over. This time, though, the FBI will be going against big media companies like The Associated Press, Gannett (the parent company of USA Today), and Vice Media. These companies filed a freedom of information lawsuit against the bureau to compel them to share information on how it was able to hack the iPhone 5c, which was used in the San Bernardino case, and who hacked it. According to the filing, this poses a “serious undisclosed security vulnerability” in one of the most popular consumer products in the world. The news organizations say Apple should be informed on how the hack was accomplished to help fix the flaw and prevent the many iPhone users from being hacked.
The group also claims this incident brings up questions regarding allocation of public funds, governmental oversight issues, and whether FBI has any legal basis for keeping the information (the organizations claim they don’t).
