Former Coinbase CTO said that Apple, Microsoft and Google will be able to access users' private keys if necessary Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan said that if the G7 countries decide to confiscate digital assets, then tech giants like Apple, Microsoft and Google , will be able to help them. Tech giants can easily scan devices to find and share private keys with authorities, he said. “Apple, Google and Microsoft have access to the operating system. Actually, this is what worries me most: Apple has software updates, and Google can get into your Google Drive, and Microsoft has Windows, in theory if they receive a corresponding request from the authorities, they can get your keys out,” he said.
