Influencers: FBI Should Disclose San Bernardino iPhone Security Hole to Apple

Kevin Bankston was quoted in Christian Science Monitor about the San Bernardino iPhone security hole:

If the government has actually found a way into locked iPhones, adds Kevin Bankston, director of New America’s Open Technology Institute, “Then bad guys can find it, too.”

“It would be dangerously shortsighted and irresponsible for the government to stockpile that vulnerability for its own use and leave every iPhone user at risk,” Mr. Bankston continued. “Indeed, this case highlights the need for the government to have a strict process in place – a process required by law – that ensures government disclosure of vulnerabilities as quickly as possible.”
