The Unhackable iPhone Has Been Compromised: \u2018Intelligence Agencies Can Intercept Calls, Messages, and Access Data\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"unhackable-iphone\"<\/p>\n

Iphone maker Apple, Inc. claimed last month that their latest iteration of the wildly popular handheld device was unhackable. According to\u00a0HackRead<\/a>, the company is so convinced of its security successes that they issued a statement saying that data stored on a phone secured with a front screen passcode was impossible to access \u2013 even by highly talented intelligence agencies:<\/p>\n

\n

The CIA and the FBI\u00a0are always looking<\/a>\u00a0for backdoors in Apple devices, in fact, the\u00a0agency\u00a0spent years<\/a>\u00a0trying to hack iPhone and iPads according to\u00a0documents\u00a0<\/strong>released by NSA\u2019s Edward Snowden.<\/p>\n

Now, with the new upgraded operating systems,\u00a0Apple<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>has termed it \u201cimpossible\u201d to access any data from Apple devices. Though, the company can still access data from older phones.<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

According to the Apple\u2019s response to the court, 90 percent of the devices has ios 8 installed and with the type of encryption already there in the phone, it\u2019s nearly impossible to access the data without the passcode, which is only known to the original owner. Even Apple itself cannot find the code.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But as we already know from recent hacks of Department of Defense computers, essential\u00a0domestic grid\u00a0infrastructure<\/a>\u00a0computers, and even\u00a0NASA\u2019s in-orbit spacecraft<\/a>, in the digital age nothing is ever really secure.<\/p>\n

Within hours of Apple releasing their latest iOS 9 update a cyber security firm known as Zerodium issued a challenge to the hacker community\u00a0and offered up a $1 million bounty for any team that could bypass Apple\u2019s latest security features. For weeks it appeared that Apple was right. Scores of hackers around the world burned the midnight oil trying to hack the iphone before Zerodium\u2019s bounty expired.<\/p>\n

But just\u00a0few hours before the challenge came to end, one team submitted their exploits and vulnerabilities and Zerodium has confirmed that the Apple\u2019s iOS 9 has been compromised.<\/p>\n
