One More Reason Not to Trust McAfee. 


snip~
The U.S. government may not need Apple to unlock an iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter, the FBI told a judge Monday.

A federal judge agreed to postpone a Tuesday court hearing with Apple at the FBI's request, after the FBI told the judge that a third party had "demonstrated an alternate method" for unlocking the iPhone used by the accused terrorist.

After the FBI's legal move, John McAfee told CNBC that he was "instrumental in the FBI's change of heart."

McAfee, the eccentric founder of the McAfee anti-virus software giant, had previouslypublicly offered to hack the phone for the FBI. He also responded to questions on Twitter about his possible involvement in the FBI's latest move by saying, "I played a role."

FBI breaks into San Bernardino gunman's iPhone without Apple's help, ending court case

The U.S. Justice Department announced Monday it has successfully accessed data stored on the iPhone that belonged to the San Bernardino gunman without Apple's help, ending the court case against the tech company.


The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

The article didn't say....I also read a couple of days ago, where Israel offered to crack it. 

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Wednesday that Cellebrite, an Israeli mobile forensics tech firm, is believed to be aiding the FBI in unlocking San Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook's iPhone.
