FBI paid nearly $1mn to hack into San Bernardino killer’s iPhone - Senator
US Senator Dianne Feinstein has revealed that the FBI paid $900,000 to hack into the iPhone of the San Bernardino killer after Apple resisted a court request to help the agency. The FBI director, James Comey hinted at the figure last year.
"I was so struck when San Bernardino happened and you made overtures to allow that device to be opened, and then the FBI had to spend $900,000 to hack it open," said Senator Feinstein, (D-California) during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week, according to AP. "And as I subsequently learned of some of the reason for it, there were good reasons to get into that device."
