The FBI is attempting, yet again, to get Apple to unlock a phone for them.
After getting a judge to order Apple to unlock the San Bernardino shooter’s work iPhone, and preparing for the legal battle that was sure to ensue over a company being forced to work at the government’s bidding, the FBI changed their minds once they managed to get “outside help” in unlocking the iPhone. Naturally, they won’t exactly say who helped, though Apple would dearly love to know.
FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday that the government had purchased “a tool” from a private party in order to unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters.
“Litigation between the government and Apple over the San Bernardino phone has ended, because the government has purchased, from a private party, a way to get into that phone, 5C, running iOS 9,” Comey said.
Law enforcement officials revealed in late March that they had finally cracked the iPhone used by Syed Farook, one of two shooters in the December 2015 attack that left 14 people dead. But they did not go into details, other than to say an unnamed third party had provided assistance.
The FBI got the case dismissed after the phone was unlocked, and that was it, right?
Wrong.
