Hacker hacks hacker who hacks

[Swordmaker]

The company the FBI paid to finally crack the San Bernardino terrorists' iPhone 5 has been itself hacked and the technology that Cellebrite developed to hatch into that iPhone can be used by the criminal that stole it, or anyone he sells it to. . . Just as I predicted would happen if a known backdoor existed! — PING!

Remember Obama going after Kaspersky and Macaffee?
And how we couldn’t really figure out what the purpose really was?
Turns out the FBI has a malware snoop program and they asked various antivirus companies to leave an exception in the definitions used to detect malware.
Kaspersky and Macaffee both told the feebs to pound sand.

Fast forward, Windows 10 calls home with enough data that malware backdoors aren’t needed.
Same with Google data collection.

I wouldn’t doubt that the feeb malware has been collected, decompiled, and repurposed already.
/ End tangential related musing.

A few years back, the gummint asked the makers of my favorite encryption program to put in a back door. Which they did. Soon after, millions of credit card numbers from one of their biggest clients got hacked and the encryption company went belly up.
I am still using the last version of their program from before it got “fixed”.
