Surprising as it may seem, but it is true. A researcher demonstrated how to unlock an iPhone password by spending just around $100. This is contradictory to the amount that the FBI spent in unlocking one, used by a shooter in San Diego – which is approximately $1.3 million. In comparison, the amount spent by the hacker is only a little percentage of the amount FBI used in their investigation.
As cited in The Guardian, a computer scientist from Cambridge University stated that an iPhone could be hacked by buying items that are low in price and could be seen easily.
The process of hacking was made through NAND Mirroring. Sergei Skorogobatov countered the statement of James Comey, an FBI Director, saying that the process is feasible and it is possible to crack information of any iPhone item up to Apple’s iPhone 6.
He released a video and a paper regarding the entire process. Skorogobatov’s video implied that there are 10,000 possible combinations that can be examined in just an estimated time of 41 hours or less than two days. For the full article click here
