"The Israeli mobile forensics firm Cellebrite helped the FBI hack into the iPhone of San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook, NBC reports, citing industry sources.
The firm has been rumored to be behind the FBI’s newfound ability to access the device, thanks to a previous and unconfirmed report from an Israeli newspaper.
Neither Cellebrite nor the Department of Justice has confirmed the reports.
The FBI has routinely contracted Cellebrite over the last five years. The company, which publicly boasts of its ability to hack into Apple devices, has received over $2 million in purchase orders from the agency since 2012.
The DOJ on Monday withdrew its case against Apple, telling a federal court it was able to unlock the device without the tech giant's help."

An earlier story I read the station manager lauded their own security precautions and their firewalls bragging about having just been audited for security and the assurances received that their protection is the best available. So this is really serious and professionally executed violation. There they are smug in their own top security claiming even that isn't sufficient while televising their passwords.
