The latest leak by the whistleblower, Edward Snowden, showed the British security agency GCHQ has been storing thousands of emails from journalists working for the world’s biggest news organizations, including the BBC, Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post, and others.
Snowden would never use an Apple iPhone. Despite Apple’s claims that it has released new technology that cannot be compromised by the police, one of Snowden’s multiple revelations showed the NSA can bug devices even when they are turned off.
For Snowden, the decision to shun such technology is both a personal and professional choice, Kucherena told RIA Novosti on Monday.
“Edward never uses an iPhone, he’s got a simple phone… The iPhone has special software that can activate itself without the ownеr having to press a button and gather information about him, which is why he refuses to use the phone based on security grounds,” Kucherena said.
