FBI vs. Apple
The FBI has used a 200 year old law to try and compel Apple to create a back door into iOS so brute force attacks against passcodes will be easier. Apple claims that once a back door is created, it will inevitably be exploited by those seeking to do harm, and the privacy and security of all the company's customers will be at risk.
