i think laws should and must be passed to create a gateway for intelligence agencies to get into this, bear in mind, even with a court order, these pass codes to get into the cell phones, they can t be obtained. the phones cannot be broken into the way they re currently structured expecter that s why we need legislation to fix this. but what i think he is saying is, we, apple, are going to be the leading line of defense against you and government trying to go through people s e-mails, correspondence, writings, et cetera. that he hays assumed that position. what do you think of that? i think that s right and this is a response to the historical debate after the snowden leaks. nsa was not breaking into cell phoned. nsa and the government got information from cell phone companies in response to legal orderser, and they re cook is finding a way to say no to the
deal with these issues, but it s a matter of actually pinpointing who specifically it is. let me pick up on that. nobody has come out and said definitively that north korea is behind this. we haven t heard that once from sony, the fbi, all the security experts with whom i ve spoken have said they believe because of the evidence that north korea is the likely person, the likely group behind it, but there is no smoking gun and that s how so many of these hacks are, you piece it together, they were away from this time to that time, the time people are awake in north korea, just the time zone alone gives them a lot of evidence but there s no smoking gun as of yet that we ve been told by security experts. and another thing to mention also, carol, is there s some indication that it might be an inside job. of course this is all speculation, nobody knows, but just based upon the manner of the hack, potential passcodes that might have been exposed. nobody knows. hopefully someone will find

[ laughter ] it s all about the fingerprints. you leave it everywhere. it s kind of a game for haerks. they come out with something and then the hackers are on to it to try to find the bug. i don t know. it might ultimately help. two days, by the way, after apple released the new phone. they were already on to it. frustratingly brilliant. it might help. they can find out what they need perfect it. they re going to keep each other in business, in other words. all right. who would have thought a fingerprint on your iphone. crazy. crazy. good to see you, zain.
