Nope. It’s not like that.

There are different levels of encryption, and nothing is unhackable given time and petaflops.

It took a week. How many petaflops do you think it took?

And what does it matter when we are heading towards having a virtually infinite number of petaflops?

I haven’t been paying too much attention but I thought the issue was bypassing the safeties that kept them from getting to the brute-force process.

Something about ten bad passwords in a row and the phone would delete the data, and how fast it could be fed passwords.

At least that’s what I read around here somewhere.
