Flashback a few decades to the days when this pilot fish is a supervisor in the call center for a big mail-order PC company.
“Our agents were privy to a customer’s credit card information right in the call tracking system,” says fish. “We trusted 600 agents with nearly unlimited access to this customer information without ever a single theft from our people.”
But the call center manager decides the operation needs a way to approve replacement parts to be shipped to customers.

Apple has apparently been able to permanently block de-encryption technology from a mysterious Atlanta-based company whose blackbox device was embraced by government agencies to bypass iPhone passcodes.
Atlanta-based Grayshift is one of two companies that claimed it could thwart Apple iPhone passcode security through brute-force attacks.
The blackbox technology purportedly worked, as Grayshift’s technology was snapped up by regional law enforcement and won contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Secret Service.
Another vendor, Israel-based Cellebrite, also discovered a way to unlock encrypted iPhones running iOS 11 and marketed its product to law enforcement and private forensics firms around the world. According to a police warrant obtained by Forbes, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security tested the technology.
