Hence the publication of Blowfish and AES and DES algorithms so people can satisfy themselves that they want to rely on it. Security through obscurity is not secure at all. My expectation is that Apple cannot hack a phone, just as the Refox dude cannot or will not help unpick an app protected by his system because if he can- then it's not protected at all.

This is techno-paranoia looking for a cause.
During the past two years, my primary credit card has been cancelled and replaced 3 times because some hackers in who-knows-where got their digital hands on whatever they need to buy something weird with it.
What will they do if they get my phone that they're not doing already?
