After months of claiming that Apple’s privacy protections had stalled its investigation, the US Justice Dept. says it has accessed a suspected terrorist’s iPhone.
In January, Barr indicated that the Alshamrani case"perfectly illustrates why it is critical that investigators be able to get access to digital evidence once they have obtained a court order based on probable cause."
The Justice Department and the tech industry have long found themselves in an uneasy grey area. Even if Apple doesn't provide a way for law enforcement to bypass its encryption, investigators can turn to third-party companies that specialize in exploiting software vulnerabilities to access what's on a protected device.
The potential triggering of the auto-delete function doesn't appear to have been a concern in the Pensacola case, however.
