According to reports, the UK government has requested Apple to establish a worldwide "backdoor" entry for iCloud data, encompassing sensitive information such as advanced data protection, messages, and passwords stored in cloud backups. This initiative affects hundreds of millions of users globally. Documents pertaining to this matter suggest that the request targets all iCloud users, with a court hearing scheduled for early 2026. Despite opposition from the US, the UK government persists with this proposal. Apple has vociferously opposed this measure, arguing that it poses a grave threat to user security. This incident stands as one of the most prominent encryption-related legal disputes since the FBI's 2016 unlocking of an iPhone.
