As we recently reported, the FBI (and so the Federal government) is trying to force Apple to assist them in unlocking the iPhone that belonged to San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook. A Federal court ordered Apple to do so, and so far Apple has resisted. Part of the heart of the FBI’s argument is that this will affect only one phone, while Apple has insisted that it’s much larger than that – that an order to help unlock one phone will lead to a dangerous precedent of being ordered to help unlock any number of phones. The Feds have steadfastly insisted it is “just this one.” However, recent court filings have revealed that in fact there are as many as a dozen iPhones in other cases just waiting for Apple to be ordered to unlock them.

A breaking news report (why is it breaking in England, not here in the U.S.?) reveals that millions of Citibank customers’ accounts are at risk as a result of what the London Times is calling the “biggest and most effective remote PIN code theft scam in US banking history.”

A recent security update to Microsoft Windows, MS05-002 KB891711, is causing crashes for a lot of Windows 98 and Windows ME users, leading to issues with IE, blue screens of death and even, some are reporting, a black screen of death. The MS05-002 KB891711 security patch, released in January, was…
