Washington: As the news spread of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) hacking into the encrypted Apple iPhone of one of the terrorists involved in California shooting, a top US security firm has expressed fears of backdoor approach to put users' security at hackers' mercy.
In a statement on Tuesday, US software security firm Symantec Corporation said that while it understands the concerns expressed by some members of law enforcement, the firm does not support any initiative that would intentionally weaken security technologies.
"Putting backdoors or introducing security vulnerabilities into encryption products introduces new avenues of attack and reduces the security of the broader internet. We are committed to supporting law enforcement efforts to protect citizens and organisations online, without compromising the integrity and security of encryption technology," the firm said.
According to media reports, a third party helped the FBI crack the security function without erasing contents of the iPhone used by Syed Farook. Farook, along with his wife Tashfeen Malik, planned and executed the December 2, 2015, shooting that left 14 people killed at San Bernardino, California.
