OREANDA-NEWS. American corporation Apple rejected a statement by US Attorney General William Barr. Earlier, the official accused the company of refusing to help law enforcement agencies and cooperating with the authorities of Russia and China.

“The false claims made about our company are an excuse to weaken encryption and other security measures that protect millions of users and our national security,” Apple’s statement reads. It is noted that the company sells identical iPhones all over the world, does not store user passwords and does not have the ability to unlock secured device. Apple representatives emphasized that they work so in order that the protection of its system could not be circumvented.

In addition, Apple reported that the first requests of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for data were answered several hours after the attack on the US air base in Florida in December 2019, and after that the corporation continued to assist in the investigation. The statement stresses that Apple is working with the FBI and other state agencies that ensure the safety of US citizens within this and many other cases.
