Apple Reports That Terrorist's Apple ID Password Changed While In Government Custody

The Apple ID password linked to the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino terrorists was changed less than 24 hours after the government took possession of the device, senior Apple executives said Friday. 

 If that hadn't happened, Apple said, a backup of the information the government was seeking may have been accessible.

Had that password not been changed, the executives said, the government would not need to demand the company create a 'backdoor' to access the iPhone used by Syed Rizwan Farook, who died in a shootout with law enforcement after a terror attack in California that killed 14 people. 

 The Department of Justice filed a motion to compel the company to do that earlier Friday.

This is an interesting revelation.

The conspiracy guys are going to get stirred up I would imagine...you know evidence demands a verdict...and this is a smoking gun of a sort...

After all, who in Government changed it, and for what reason and under who's authority?

You can't change an Apple iPhone password with out knowledge of the prior password now can you?

So evidence points to the fact the someone within Government must have knowledge of what was on that phone prior to the password change scenario.

And obviously they wanted the information locked up behind a new password, known only to themselves.

But why?

What are they hiding, or whom are they protecting.

Don't ya just love a good conspiracy! 

Where there's smoke there's fire.

Meanwhile in the news currently...

 
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a motion seeking to compel Apple Inc to comply with a judge's order for the company to unlock the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters, portraying the tech giant's refusal as a 'marketing strategy.' 

 The filing escalated a showdown between the Obama administration and Silicon Valley over security and privacy that ignited earlier this week.

 The Federal Bureau of Investigation is seeking the tech giant's help to access the shooter's phone, which is encrypted. 

The company so far has pushed back, and on Thursday won three extra days to respond to the order.
