Nothing is safe! Even the most stringent piece of security software has holes. Exploiting these weaknesses is something that hackers love to do … I wouldn’t be surprised if FBI actually hired some hackers to do this.
“The FBI has managed to unlock the iPhone of the San Bernardino gunman without Apple’s help, ending a court case, the US justice department says. Apple had been resisting a court order issued last month requiring the firm to write new software to allow officials to access Rizwan Farook’s phone.
But officials on Monday said that it had been accessed independently and asked for the order to be withdrawn.
Rizwan Farook and his wife killed 14 people in San Bernardino in December.
They were later shot dead by police. US officials said Mr Farook’s wide, Tashfeen Malik, pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State on social media on the day of the shooting.”
