Pretty good technical expertise for just a couple of harmless kids in Obama's "Jay-Vee".

Give it to some high school geek. They’ll have it opened in minutes.

Reminds me of a scene in “Live Free or Die Hard”.
The hacker kid says the bad guys are doing a “fire sale” and the FBI tech agent is all “Nope, no way, it can’t be done, it’s impossible.”
Hacker kids response “Please tell me she’s not in charge of anything important!”

This is total BS!

They have access and I bet it took all of 5min to crack it.

 

The reason the FBI made this PRESS RELEASE is to give the knuckleheads the false hope of security.

I'm guessing this is an iPhone we're talking about. The whole article read like "See what happens when Apple gives us phones we can't crack!"

FBI Unable To Crack San Bernardino Killers' Cell Phone

Could be a lie to get some of the Terrorists contacts out in the open;
on the other hand, even if the NSA could crack the phones, the FBI wouldn't ask them for help.

I can't comprehend this. Is it a simpe password that unlocks the phone or is it encrypted? Either way, the NSA and others have tools that will break most encryption by brute force attacks. Even if that doesn't work, they have tools that take longer but will eventually get the job done. After this much time I can't believe they have failed.

Perhaps the NSA has not deemed it necessary to share with the FBI. Or maybe the FBI is too proud to ask.

A few years back I used a well known well supported encryption program. The government asked the company to put in a back door. After that a lot of credit cards were compromised on a popular site, the site sued the encryption vendor and they went out of business. I still have my pre-back door copy though.

What’d they do get sick and tired of hearing the muslim call to prayer when they called the ISIS help line and got put on hold waiting to speak to an ISIS representative?
