Hacking tool used on San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone 5c works on few models: FBI
FBI director James Comey reported that the hacking tool used to unlock the iPhone 5c of San Bernardino shooter Syred Farook works on a small percentage of iPhone models and probably not the iPhone 5s or 6. The FBI was in a legal battle with Apple after the feds changed the handset's Apple ID password then secured a court order demanding the tech giant build a new version of iOS to hack the smartphone. One day before the start of the federal trail the Department of Justice (DOJ) claimed that a third-party had showed the FBI a hacking method to collect the mobile phone's data.
