Posted December 31, 2013 http://gizmodo.com/the-nsa-has-crazy-good-backdoor-access-to-iphones-1492117035 We already knew that the NSA had developed a taste for intercepting packages to put backdoors in electronics. Now, it turns out that those hacks provide it with almost complete access to the iPhone, too. Documents shared by security researcher Jacob Appelbaum and German magazine Der Spiegel reveal that the NSA can spy on almost every communication sent from Apple's phones. Using software called DROPOUTJEEP, the NSA can: intercept SMS messages, access contact lists, locate a phone using cell tower data, and even activate the device's microphone and camera. Just another reason to not buy an iPhone. In all seriousness though, the NSA needs to screw off. Unless the government does something about them (which they probably won't any time soon), the NSA isn't going anywhere, nor will their shenanigans stop. I'm very disappointed with my country right now. COMIC SANS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 31, 2013 Well i'm pretty sure they aren't intercepting motherboards or components that aren't in systems, so we custom builders are at least a little more in the clear.
