THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THIS IS THAT THEY OPENED THE TERRORIST'S PHONE FROM SAN BERNADINO. THE BAD NEWS ABOUT THIS IS YOU LIKELY WILL STILL HAVE TO THROW AWAY MOST SMARTPHONES TO NOT LOSE YOUR IDENTITY AND BANK ACCOUNTS SOMETIME DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS. THIS IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE THAT LIKELY COULD END MOST SMARTPHONES. HOWEVER, NEW ENCRYPTIONS AND NEW PHONE DESIGNS AND NEW PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE COULD BE A TEMPORARY WAY TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM OVER TIME UNTIL THE NEXT ONE NEEDS TO BE DECRYPTED.
BUT, THE 700 MILLION IPHONES IN USE NOW MIGHT HAVE TO BE THROWN AWAY. BUT APPLE WILL REMAIN IN BUSINESS AND WON'T GET THE BLAME. THIS IS THE MAIN ADVANTAGE HERE. SO, WHO WILL BE SUED BY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL BE THE ISRAELI FIRM AND THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER TIME FOR DAMAGES.
HOWEVER, THOSE PEOPLE LIKELY WON'T WIN AGAINST A BUSINESS IN ISRAEL OR AGAINST THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

Cellebrite,
a provider of mobile forensic software in Israel, is helping the FBI
unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters.
Tel Aviv - 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.
If Cellebrite succeeds, then the FBI will no longer need the help of
Apple Inc, the Israeli daily said, citing unnamed industry sources. FBI MAY HAVE WAY TO ACCESS SAN BERNARDINO SHOOTER'S PHONE
Cellebrite officials declined to comment on the matter.
Apple is engaged in a legal battle with the U.S. Justice Department
over a judge's order that it write new software to disable passcode
protection on the iPhone used by the shooter.
The two sides were set to face off in court on Tuesday, but on Monday a
federal judge agreed to the government's request to postpone the
hearing after U.S. prosecutors said a ``third party'' had presented a
possible method for opening an encrypted iPhone.
The development could bring an abrupt end to the high-stakes legal
showdown which has become a lightning rod for a broader debate on data
privacy in the United States.
Cellebrite, a subsidiary of Japan's Sun Corp, has its revenue split
between two businesses: a forensics system used by law enforcement,
military and intelligence that retrieves data hidden inside mobile
devices and technology for mobile retailers.
