A U.S. magistrate last month ordered Apple to provide the FBI with software to help it hack into Farook’s work-issued iPhone. The order touched off a debate pitting digital privacy rights against national security concerns.
BS , Apple caved. FBI promised to not make them look bad.
I am glad they were able to do it without Apple’s help. It was kind of embarrassing that they had to ask.
Oops. The FBI can now hack IPhones at will. Mebbe Apple should have cooperated after all, and kept control of the methodology.
More likely because the court told the FBI they COULDN’T force Apple to write any S/W to break their phone.

the fruit CEO is gonna have a good cry over this one.
good!
They are lying.
I guess that means the terrorist used a 4 or 6 digit numeric only passcode....luckily for the FBI!
They finally called in the guy from the mailroom.
They found the code to this written on a USB drive, while sipping on a Coke at the Metreon...SOS
They better find something helpful or Apple will be the winner here. If they find nothing then it was a huge waste of tax payer money.
They simply mirrored the chip to software and tried codes on the software copy. It it locks up, you just start with another copy.
This involves very expensive equipment, so it would be very difficult for hackers to duplicate.

And these guys can’t tell the difference between a real and forged birth certificate...LIke they don’t know where Obama was born, where he lived and where he traveled. BS big time.
The FBI wanted Apple to create a special update for the phone in question because it was concerned that the owner might have enabled a feature that would have erased the drive, had someone entered a bad password ten times.
My guess is that they cloned the phone’s memory, so they could start over if that had happened, then ran through the 4-6 digit passwords.
All those numbers and texts are going to be to islam-a-nazis that have left town and/or changed ID.
I heard from pretty good source they cracked that phone within days of the terrorist attack in San Berdo.
IMHO this is excellent news.
