There's another new wrinkle in the never-ending FBI vs Apple saga.
The Washington Post is claiming that FBI did not require Cellebrite's
assistance in hacking San Bernardino iPhone. Instead, the report claims,
the government intelligence organization bought a previously unknown security bug from a group of professional hackers.
According to the report, the hacker group provided FBI with at least
one zero-day flaw in the iPhone 5c's security, which enabled FBI to
circumvent the lockscreen and other security features. The bug hasn't
been disclosed. FBI has previously noted that the technique it utilized
in breaking into the iPhone 5c does not work with any new iPhone models (iPhone 5s or newer).
