The FBI announced it had cracked the San Bernardino’s shooter iPhone. The company that created the backdoor was a Chinese firm based out of Shanghai. They were paid $30 million for their trouble.
“The Chinese did it in a week,” said FBI Director James Comey. “It was really easy for them. We are just happy that’s it over. Too bad we didn’t find anything of use on the phone.”
With the iPhone now hacked, the lawsuit against Apple has been dropped and the government now has access to everyone’s iPhone. And from the sounds of it, so does every government around the world.
Apple spokesman Tim Waitley said, “It was bound to happen. Every encryption software eventually gets broken. That’s why we don’t use encryption software from 1998 or even from 2012. It has to always get better.
“It’s a massive challenge to stay a step ahead of hackers and the federal government.
