蘋果公司與美國司法部對簿公堂
The battle between the U.S. Justice Department and Apple returns to a federal courtroom Monday as the government tries to get the iPhone maker to comply with an order to help it access the phone of a mass shooter.
美國司法部與蘋果公司星期一將在一家聯邦法院展開交鋒。美國政府試圖迫使蘋果公司遵從一項法官的命令，協助當局獲取大規模槍擊案兇手法魯克的手機所存信息。
A magistrate judge said last week Apple must provide software to allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to guess the password on an iPhone given to Syed Rizwan Farook by his employer before he and his wife Tafsheen Malik killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California last year.
一名法官上星期說，蘋果公司必須提供一種軟件，使聯邦調查局得以破解法魯克的iPhone密碼。去年，法魯克和他的妻子馬利克在加利福尼亞州的聖巴爾納迪奧殺害了14人。
But Apple rejected what it called the "unprecedented" order to create a backdoor that could allow someone with the software to access any iPhone and put its customers at risk of hacking.
但蘋果公司拒絕服從這項它所稱的“沒有先例”的命令，不同意提供幫助獲取iPhone所存信息的軟件，使其客戶面臨遭黑客入侵的危險。
The government fired back with a motion to make Apple comply, and ahead of Monday's hearing FBI Director James Comey insisted the government is not trying to set any precedent for future cases or "set a master key loose on the land."
美國政府進行反擊，向法院提出申訴，以迫使蘋果公司就範。聯邦調查局局長科米在星期一舉行法院聽證之前強調說，美國政府並不試圖爲今後設立一個先例，也不會“丟下一把任人使用的萬能鑰匙”。
