[citation][nom]jazz84[/nom]I wouldn't be so sure (though I am in no way trying to shoot you down). Let's look at the first part of that file name: NCFTA. Forbes did a decent write-up on this shady little non-profit:
http://tinyurl.com/bm73wcfTo quote their article:"Its industry members, which include banks, ISPs, telcos, credit card companies, pharmaceutical companies, and others can hand over cyberthreat information to the non-profit, called the National Cyber Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA), which has a legal agreement with the government that allows it to then hand over info to the FBI. Conveniently, the FBI has a unit, the Cyber Initiative and Resource Fusion Unit, stationed in the NCFTA’s office. Companies can share information with the 501(c)6 non-profit that they would be wary of (or prohibited from) sharing directly with the FBI."This would lend credence to the idea that Apple probably just flat-out handed the data over and likely does so on a regular basis. Easy way to bank some quid pro quo with a powerful national government. This would also suggest that the means by which the FBI received this information were not classified, so the rules you mention about file names related to classified projects may not even apply here.[/citation]
Ah, that's all a very good point! I would counter and say that just because information was communicated between two parties doesn't mean it's still not classified. Tons of government sub-contracts are all-contained as classified/secret/top-secret, and info always goes to and fro between the two parties. If the project is classified/secret/top-secret, so is the info (again, not saying that this had anything to do with a classified project either).
