Apple Dropped Plans for End-to-End Encrypted iCloud Backups Due to FBI Pressure


Apple reportedly dropped plans to introduce end-to-end encryption of iCloud backups due to pressure from the FBI, reports Reuters.
As we've noted before, if you are using Apple's iCloud services your data is not secure. Apple has the encryption keys to your photos, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail, notes, voice memos, health, call history, and files. Even your messages are not secure if you have iCloud backup enabled.
According to the report, Apple reversed course around two years ago, perhaps as a tactic to keep the iPhone itself secure amid calls from law enforcement agencies for a backdoor into the device that would let them easily access user information.
