Since then, numerous law enforcement and prosecutorial demands seeking access to digital information have been presented to tech companies, but the first one involving a major password manager was reported in April 2019. The FBI eventually withdrew the request because agents allegedly retained the services of hackers to break into the device. The most prominent case in this regard involved an iPhone 5C used by a gunman in the December 2015 terrorist attack in San Bernardino.įBI agents and prosecutors ordered Apple to unlock the device, but the company argued that it could not be compelled to provide such assistance on the basis that it would create privacy issues for all iPhone users.
Until a few years ago, it was unusual to learn about law enforcement agencies demanding information from technology firms that specialize in providing services such as secure digital storage and password vaults.
