A recent House of Lords session highlighted concerns over a government order that mandates Apple to provide backdoor access to user data, increasing security risks for UK users. Liberal peer Paul Strasburger criticized the decision, suggesting it undermines digital privacy, as encryption weaknesses could be exploited by criminals. Apple is contesting this order's legality in a closed tribunal. Civil liberties groups and media organizations are rallying for an open court appeal due to the serious implications for user security and privacy.
Users of Apple devices in the UK are at the most risk in the world of being hacked, following a secret government order requiring the tech company to allow 'backdoor' access to its users' encrypted data.
Strong encryption is essential to protect our data and our commerce from attack by organised crime and rogue states. Any weakness inserted into encryption for the benefit of the authorities is also available to those who would do us harm.
