Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

The UK government faces criticism as its appeal hearing against Apple over a 'backdoor' order will be held secretly on March 14. The Technical Capability Notice would force Apple to provide access to encrypted iCloud data of users worldwide. Several MPs demand the hearing be public, warning about global privacy risks and dangerous precedents for authoritarian regimes.
