Apple rejects working with NSA
Germany´s Der Spiegel reported this week that a secretive unit of the NSA, now under fire for the extent and depth of its spying programs around the world, makes specialized gear and software to infiltrate and monitor a plethora of computing devices, including mobile phones.
The report included an NSA graphic dated 2008 that outlined a system in development called DROPOUTJEEP, calling it a “software implant” that allows infiltrators to push and pull and retrieve data from iPhones such as contact lists.
Der Spiegel referred to it as a “trojan,” or malware that helps hackers get into protected systems. The report, which surfaced on Sunday, did not suggest that Apple had cooperated with the US spying agency on so-called backdoors.
The iPhone was a relatively new-fangled gadget in 2008. It hit the market in 2007 and proceeded to help revolutionize the mobile phone industry.
