Consider that a government company has to hide the effectiveness of brakes in all cars sold, and to say millions of security carelessly. This would be something that social security would be unthinkable.

Unfortunately, the cyber security that is forced to ensure the vital confidentiality and safety protection of the latest encryption and security, which expose the latest weaknesses and infrastructure in Cyber ​​Security, Apple’s background and infrastructure.

Apple is not a cani here. This was not a light choice. The company has invested billions of dollars as a company that has a company confidential friendly in cryptographic research and development and privacy friendly.

However, Apple turned into a box in a corner after the UK’s government order was receiving and rewritten and weakened Basic Privacy TechnologyIntentional engineering weakness is not only in the UK, but also in global scale, the government’s “back door” to provide access to encrypted cloud storage data.

The government also ordered no one to order the so-called “Snoopers” charter to order the company and the security violation is hidden.

Instead of adapt, Apple encrypt and launched the backups in the UK Legal complaint. This is a reduction in damage, but it is still harmful. If you are in the UK, your iCloud backups – such as sensitive work documents, intimate photos, evidence and financial records, the hacks, violations, theft and enemy government desires are now vulnerable.

The news is still bad for those outside England. The communication jurisdiction does not remain on its borders. Something you share with your friends or peers in the UK now does not have the final encryption to the end. This picture you sent a friend or send confidential information with colleagues is now sensitive.

If it’s all that Apple can follow, other technological companies should stop such a secret order and instead of combat, as we silently adapt. Especially work leaders should be concerned about what they can say for this and put their trust in the program and other critical systems.

England is part of a dangerous trend, which threatens cyber security of our global infrastructure. The laws in Sweden recently proposed a law that supports communication providers, which will build communication providers back to the door. France is preparing to correct the same mistake when voting in reliable conversations in reliable conversations through the back doors. The legislation of “Chat control” is Haunts to Brussels.

The main infrastructure, such as air traffic control, medical device and emergency operations, trusts the calculation apparatus and software. It is a national security issue to use powerful encryption to maintain safety and privacy.

Threat is not hypothetical. Last year, the US government has launched a salt tailway to US telecommunications systems, China has accessed the National Hacks, Call Records, Text Messages and other intimate information of millions of Americans. Potential victims include President Donald Trump. How did hackers do it? “Rear doors” in integrated telecommunications systems have exploited.

The fundamental issue is simple: Encryption is a government investigator and a government investigator and a crime hacker – the back door is the back door and if you have, anyone can enter.

There is also a contradiction in the game. If the politicians dream of preparing the British Technology Center, they should not work to violate the foundations of cyber security that the technological industry relying on the industry.

The government should withdraw the wrong mandate. Instead of hiding the brake cables in the technological car, it must work to strengthen the security and confidentiality of the world’s nervous system. Business leaders should also role, this dangerous actions are unacceptable and should obviate the transfer and other protection and other protection and other protection.

We ceeded most of the main operations of our lives and institutions, we need to accept that the strong encryption is not the enemy of security have Security. The weakening of encryption is as dangerous as it is dangerous to be more reliable than us.
