256 bit AES encryption is highly secure, but not totally.
Brute force can eventually get in.

Nope. It’s not like that.
There are different levels of encryption, and nothing is unhackable given time and petaflops.

“it was successfully able to access the data on the iPhone without Apple’s help”
I don’t think this is a victory for Apple. It shows that anyone can break into Apple phones, without their help, so their phones are not as secure as they claim

“It remains a priority for the government to ensure that law enforcement can obtain crucial digital information to protect national security and public safety...”
Something the Israeli’s know about and respect a little more than some of our liberal thick-skulled companies.

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?

Eric Snowden said weeks ago, that they did not really need permission from Apple, and were fully capable of doing their own hacking. Maybe Eric can come home if the next president is republican. Or one never knows, they may have a high status job to offer him.

What if NSA cracked the code last year and identified terrorist targets for wet work and monitoring last year within days after the terrorist attack at San Bernardino. Then, let MI5, DGESEF and the CIA wet work experts handle those terrorists.

I dont think this is a victory for Apple. It shows that anyone can break into Apple phones, without their help, so their phones are not as secure as they claim This is a horrible humiliation for Apple. They have been shown to be nothing but a bunch of Drama Queens that didn't really have a secure system in the first place.
But it didn't stop them from doing a huge "Chicken Little" drama play about it.

They just spread fear and loathing all over the internet, and now we see it was to no good end.

They just discovered the password was written on the back of the phone
To: SeekAndFind
What they aren’t telling us is that they’d hacked into the phone within 24 hours of finding it. This whole months-long rhubarb we’ve watched between them and Apple was merely an attempt to strongarm Apple into making it easy to get into everyone’s iphone.

Anyone with half a brain has already retired from the US government. That is why the FBI had to hire the Israeli’s to crack the phone.
