Re: “BUT THEY DID GET THE BACKUPS OF TNE PERIOD PRIOR TO THAT FROM APPLE.”

Two factor greatly increases the strength that password-only authentication would provide but doesn't make it perfect. Nothing is perfect. Two factor does nothing if the vendor weakens the algorithm intentionally or routes data through two channels, one of which is insecure. It also is only as secure as the algorithm, and the best algorithms are found to be lacking every few years which is why there are so many. A few years back, DES was the preferred form of encryption. Then AES. Then 3DES. Now AES-256. Down the road a piece, there will be something else and AES-256 will be considered insecure.

Apple currently employs AES-128. I have no idea why AES-256 is preferred. Sounds like a weakness.

I'm happy you learned something - that the data on the phone was not actually secure. You haven't yet learned the more important lesson - that we only have Apple's word for it that they have no backdoor circumventing the cryptographic process. You're a trusting sort, so I guess their word is good enough for you. It's not good enough for me. An independent auditor should review Apple's systems and attest to the results, and Apple should contract the hardware and software security responsibilities to separate independent vendors so as to lessen the probability of a back door. Failing that, the possibility exists.

You’re mistepresenting the facts, and you are ignorant to boot.

The FBI, RESET THE ICLOUD PASSWORD, AND BY DOING THAT MADE THE BACKUPS OF THE DEVICE ON THE CLOUD FAIL, SO THEY COULD NOT GET THE BACKUPS FOR THE LAST DAYS BEGORE THE EVENT, BUT THEY DID GET THE BACKUPS OF TNE PERIOD PRIOR TO THAT FROM APPLE.

AND THAT IS A FACT!

THERE WAS NO WAY FOR THEM TO GET IN, AND THEY STUPIDLY RESET THE PASSWORD AND THE DEVICE COULD NOT BACKUP VIA WIFI AUTOMATICALLY AT NIGHT WHEN PLUGGED IN TO POWER TO RECHARGE. THAT’S HOW ICLOUD BACKUPS WORK, IGNORAMUS.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS BRING THE PHONE INTO A PLACE WHERE IT WAS POSSIBLE IT HAD CONNECTED TO WIFI BEFORE, THE WORKPLACE OR HOME, AND LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT TO CHARGE, AND THEY WOULD HAVE ITS LATEST BACKUP DATA WHICH APPLE WOULD ALSO PROVIDE.

There can never be anyone entrusted with encryption keys otner than Oneself. And that is what Apple is saying. The Israeli security company that was able to hack that older phone, was HACKED ITSELF FOLLOWING THAT TIME!!!

NO ENCRYPTION KEY IS SAVE ANYWHERE, OTHER THAN IN YOUR FU GERPRINT, FACE, AND PASSWORD, ALL OF THEM WITH YOU AND NO ONE ELSE.

THAT IS APPLE’S POSITION. You are snarter than Apple, eh?

Your ignorance is bliss.

ANY TYPOS CAN BE ADDRESSED TO AUTOCORRECT.

HAAAAAAABWA HAAHAHAHA
