FBI Director James Comey has opened up ever so slightly regarding the process involved in cracking into the San Bernardino iPhone.
He stated that the bureau purchased a “tool” from a private party that could access the data of the iPhone 5C in question, something that Apple staunchly refused to assist with.
Following the successful breach, the FBI dropped its court order against the Cupertino company, saying that it “no longer requires the assistance from Apple Inc”.
