Apple Denies Claims by Forensic Scientist of Back-Doors in iPhone OS Left Open for Government Snooping

Apple has denied that they purposefully left back-doors open in the iPhone operating system, allowing government and law enforcement to hack the device and snoop personal files.

The company basically did admit that they do have back-doors built into the IOS, saying “We have designed iOS so that its diagnostic functions do not compromise user privacy and security, but still provides needed information to enterprise IT departments, developers and Apple for troubleshooting technical issues”

So it seems that they did leave back-doors open, which they claim is for “troubleshooting technical issues”, but the same back-doors that Apple can access to do troubleshooting can and most likely are being used by the NSA, Law Enforcement and other hackers, to gain access to the contents of the iPhone.

Apple has pushed back against accusations by forensic scientist Jonathan Zdziarski that the company has designed its products with back doors that give law enforcement access to data stored on the devices.

Zdziarski made the claim last Friday
