The Wiretap: California Cops Want More Apple Tech. These Kiwis Have An App For That.

Quick Summary:

Chinese cyber spies have also been able to breach the phone of president elect Donald Trump's lead criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, according to sources who spoke with ABC News.

If the iPhones have been hacked, it marks a significant escalation in cyber espionage on the U.S., as direct device breaches can provide hackers with a wealth of information, from encrypted messages to photos and contacts.

Now the LAPD, alongside the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, have welcomed Smudge, the developer of the New Zealand OnDuty iOS app, to California in the hope they can collaborate on something similar for U.S.agents.
