Apple is generally used to being in the news for developing and releasing extremely exciting and powerful hardware and software products. Attention over the last few months however has been laser-focused on Apple's battle with the U.S. Department of Justice over an encrypted iPhone 5c belonging to one of San Bernardino shooters.
The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team has advised Windows users running Apple's QuickTime to uninstall the software to mitigate any future security risks. The advice falls under alert TA16-105A on the United States Computer Readiness Team website, and has been issued in response to Apple announcing that it will no longer be providing security updates for QuickTime on the Windows platform. This alert is intended to provide information to all Windows users running Apple's QuickTime extensible multimedia framework.
Law enforcement agencies under the guidance of the United States government may have gone to almost every single length possible to gain access to one of Apple's iPhones, but it looks as though that unwavering pursuit is yet to prove fruitful for the FBI. After unsuccessfully attempting to force Apple to unlock an iPhone 5c used in the San Bernardino shooting last year, the FBI allegedly enlisted the help of hackers familiar with a flaw in the iOS software to gain access to the data within. According to a new report that access has so far failed to produce any findings that are noteworthy or relevant to the case.
The Department of Justice has asked Apple to unlock another iPhone because while the FBI didn't need Apple's help to access an iPhone 5c recently, it seems that particular method of accessing data isn't possible in this case.
