Setelah berhasil membobol iPhone yang digunakan oleh salah satu penyerang San Bernardino, FBI akan siap memecahkan kode security pada perangkat ponsel lainnya yang menyimpan data kriminal yang tidak dapat dibuka oleh penyidik. Dalam surat yang dikirim ke lembaga penegak hukum setempat seperti diinformasikan BuzzFeed, FBI mengungkapkan bahwa siap untuk membantu jaksa mendapatkan akses ke ponsel yang terkunci jika mereka percaya bahwa perangkat tersebut menyimpan informasi penting untuk memudahkan dalam penyelidikan.
"As has been our longstanding policy, the FBI will of course consider any tool that might be helpful to our partners. Please know that we will continue to do everything we can to help you consistent with our legal and policy constraints. You have our commitment that we will maintain an open dialogue with you. We are in this together," surat yang dikirim oleh FBI.
Jelas, FBI tidak melewatkan kesempatan untuk membanggakan diri dengan fakta bahwa mereka berhasil membobol iPhone San Bernardino tanpa bantuan Apple, menjelaskan bahwa software unlock disediakan oleh "pihak ketiga." hanya saja software dari nama perusahaan yang tidak disebutkan namanya tersebut tidak diedarkan secara bebas.
FBI belum menyebutkan apakah akan berencana untuk menggunakan metode yang sama seperti yang diterapkan pada perangkat iPhone San Bernardino pada perangkat lain juga, tapi kepala organisasi sebelumnya menjamin bahwa mereka hanya memberlakukan one-time-use hack.
Since recovering an iPhone from one of the San Bernardino shooters on December 3, 2015, the FBI sought methods to gain access to the data stored on it. As the FBI continued to conduct its own research, and as a result of the worldwide publicity and attention generated by the litigation with Apple, others outside the US government continued to contact the US government offering avenues of possible research. In mid-March, an outside party demonstrated to the FBI a possible method for unlocking the iPhone. That method for unlocking that specific iPhone proved successful.
We know that the absence of lawful, critical investigative tools due to the "Going Dark" problem is a substantial state and local law enforcement challenge that you face daily. As has been our longstanding policy, the FBI will of course consider any tool that might be helpful to our partners. Please know that we will continue to do everything we can to help you consistent with our legal and policy constraints. You have our commitment that we will maintain an open dialogue with you. We are in this together.
