Israelis Hacking Encrypted Phone For FBI

Israel's Cellebrite, a provider of mobile forensic software, is helping the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's attempt to unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino, California shooters, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Wonderful. Now the Israelis and "our" FBI can open our phones anytime they want.

At this point, Apple should sue the FBI to prevent this hacking. Only problem is, even if Apple won in court the Israelis would do it anyway.
