Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying

According to the UK Government, Apple is ordered to create a BECDOR, which will give security officers access to encrypted users backups of ICLUD. In the case of implementation, British security services would have access to reserve copies of any user around the world, and not just the British, and Apple is not allowed to warn users that their encryption has been compromised.

The Washington Post The reports that the secret order issued last month is based on the rights granted in accordance with the Law on Duties in the UK of 2016, also known as the Charter of Snepers. Officials, according to the visible, demanded a general access to encrypted files uploaded by any user around the world, and not for access to a specific account.

In response, Apple is expected to simply stop offering his encrypted storage service, Advanced Data Protection, in the UK. However, this will not satisfy Great Britain’s demand for access to files, common users.

Apple has the right to appeal the notification based on the cost of its implementation and is proportional to the requirements of the security requirement, but any appeal cannot postpone the implementation of the initial order.

It is reported that the UK served an Apple document called a notification of technical capabilities. This is a criminal offense to even show that the government has adopted a demand. In the same way, if Apple has begun the requirements of Great Britain, then, according to the visible, it would not allow users that its encrypted service is no longer fully protected.

“There is no reason why the UK [government] It should have the right to make a decision for citizens of the world, whether they can use the proven security manuals that arise from through encryption, ”said the Appl to the British parliament in March 2024 amid a discussion of amendments to investigative powers to act. Previously, he pushed against other attempts by Great Britain to register the rear houses for encrypted communications.
