Apple is among over 140 companies and organizations who have sent a letter to President Obama urging him to reject any proposal that weakens the security of devices such as the iPhone.The letter follows statements by FBI Director James B. Comey accusing Apple and other companies of marketing “something expressly to allow people to place themselves beyond the law.” The DOJ has reportedly gone as far as telling Apple that the encryption on its iPhones will lead to the death of a child. Tim Cook emphasized the importance of securing user data at the White House Cybersecurity Summit; however, it appears as though law enforcement officials are still pushing for companyies to be forced to reduce the security of their devices.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
