Apple Wants FBI to Explain Its Hack

Now that the FBI says it has hacked into an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters, Apple wants the Bureau to reveal how it did it. According to the Los Angeles Times, the tech giant’s attorneys are researching legal tactics to compel the government to hand over details of its hack—information the company deems important for understanding flaws in their product and for protecting consumer privacy. It remains unclear whether the FBI’s hack would work on other iPhones, and a Times law-enforcement source said its applications are limited.
