Apple demands FBI reveal how it broke iPhone encryption

Following the FBI's announcement that it succeeded in breaking the encryption of the iPhone used by the terrorists who carried out the October 2015 attack in San Bernardino, California, lawyers for iPhone producer Apple are planning a lawsuit demanding that the FBI reveal the means and method used. The legal struggle over breaking the iPhone's encryption has dealt a blow to both sides, with tech giants expected to scale down their cooperation with the FBI, and Apple now needing to explain how the private information on hundreds of millions of iPhones is now vulnerable. Non-official sources said the encryption was broken with the help of Israeli tech firm Cellebrite.
