Boris Johnson has been unable to give the Covid inquiry WhatsApp messages from his old iPhone because he has forgotten the passcode. This has led to accusations that he is trying to hide something, but Johnson has insisted that he simply can't remember the code.
The story has all the makings of a Ken Follett novel. There's the mysterious passcode, the government's attempts to block the release of the messages, and Johnson's own protestations of innocence. It's a tale of intrigue, suspense, and maybe even a little bit of comedy.
But there's also a serious side to this story. The Covid inquiry is trying to get to the bottom of what happened during the pandemic, and Johnson's messages could be key to understanding the government's decision-making. If he's really forgotten the passcode, then that's unfortunate. But if he's lying, then that's a serious matter.
Rather than take risk of device disabling, security experts are trying to find a way of getting round it His iPhone has a much higher level of security than normal iPhones, which disable after 10+ attempts.
Government security experts trying to establish if they can stop the iPhone erasing itself if passcode is wrong.
Only time will tell what the truth is. But in the meantime, we can all enjoy the mystery of Boris Johnson's iPhone passcode. It's a story that has everything: suspense, intrigue, and maybe even a little bit of comedy.
