FBI may have found a way into terrorist's iPhone
Interesting for a number of reasons
1) It may lead to further find out information on accomplices
2) It will be interesting to see IF we ever find out who the "outside party" is and what method was revealed
3) IF there is truly a way in, that may mean the Apple phone is not as secure as Apple had thought
Be interesting to see how this unfolds.

I'm far from being technically knowledgeable but it always seem to me that a way is possible to get into that phone. Maybe so, maybe not.

Apple has said that they hoped that the government would share with Apple any vulnerabilities of the iPhone that might come to light.
Given Apple's not wanting to cooperate with the government do you really thing the government will give them info on what they find if successful. I am thinking NOT.

Re: FBI may have found a way into terrorist's iPhone
I read a story where Edward Snowden said that the FBI claim that Apple had the only ‘exclusive technical means’ was "*ull*hit"
Personally I support Apple's position! Once a hack is developed there is no way to keep it from the hands of people with Bad intent.
The New York police Dept has 100's of Apple phones they want to access. Multiply that across the country. What will happen?

So if Cellebrite (or whatever company might be successful) in unlocking the phone then does that automatically mean the "hack" will spread to others ?
