Tech giant Apple is digging in against the federal government by refusing to hack an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino, California, shooters.

A court has ordered Apple to aid the FBI by creating a code to unlock the iPhone that belonged to Sayeed Farook. Apple claims that would leave its software open to sophisticated hackers who, in turn, could possibly gain access to all users' personal information.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is insisting that his company will stand firm in its assertion.

"The government is asking us to hack our own users and undermine decades of security advancement that protects our customers," Cook says.

Reaction among residents in Yonkers appears to be mixed. One resident says that if the information could help keep U.S. citizens safe, then Apple should comply. Another person says that no good can come from the government having that kind of access to cellular devices.
