"But [Apple executives] said they expected any [implication by malicious actors] attacks to be very rare and that in any case a review would then look for other signs of criminal hacking."
Oh, all right: Apple, already being in possession of hard evidence of a hideous crime and already being required by law to forward such evidence to proper authorities, will also - pro bono publico! - sacrifice significant amount of time of a significant number of their in-house computer forensics experts, each enjoying a significant billing rate, to relentlessly look for "other signs of criminal hacking", until there is no significant doubt that the accused is, indeed, guilty. We're all safe, then.
