You might recall the case of the San Bernardino terrorist, where the FBI was going to court to try and make apple design and install an iPhone update on everyone's phones so the FBI could crack them at will. The FBI was telling the court that there was no was on Earth, truly, to get into an iPhone otherwise.
Except there was, and the FBI's case to force Apple in install FBI-sanctioned spyware fell apart.
Now, it seems, that there was a group of goons in the FBI who knew all that and deliberately lied to both the FBI's leadership and to the courts. Because they didn't want to have to go to the trouble of cracking an iPhone each time.
Will the clowns in the Cryptologic and Electronic Analysis Unit who lied to both their bosses and to the courts be disciplined for that?
Don't hold yer breath.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

More fun following developments. First phone broken by undisclosed hacker for $1,000,000. Then the Israeli firm Cellebrite offers cracking iPhones at $1,500 per...and now Grayshift offers Graykey, 300 hacks a year for $15,000 (with an online connection required...offline is $30,000 per year for unlimited uses). Forbes reports that Apple should be able to inspect Graykey pretty soon and find the day zero exploit it uses, likely the same as Cellebrite. Give them a few months amd Apple patches this day zero hole, and then they’ll do it all over again, because there are always exploits.
