Generally the correct way to think about news like this, I believe.

Like when Apple pretended to not work with the agencies when Apple hardware needed to be unlocked ...

Are you talking about the California shooting in 2015, where the FBI asked Apple to decrypt the phone? The way I recall it being resolved was some contractor decrypted it after Apple refused to

And before that, Snowden leaks suggested that Apple worked with NSA.

it was Mark Dowd's firm, Azimuth Security - not just some contractor, he literally wrote the book on memory safety vulnerabilities

> some contractor decrypted it after Apple refused to

Or that was the story they all agreed to tell.
