Last year, an Israeli company called Cellebrite helped the FBI hack a terrorist's iPhone 5C after Apple refused to help the government agency. The method used by the Israelis to access the data from that iPhone has not been disclosed, but a hacker managed to break into Cellebrite's servers, stealing hundreds of GB of data from it.
Among the information stolen by the hacker is part of the source code used by Cellebrite in a software that can break not only iPhone terminals, but also Android or Blackberry. Obtaining this information, the hacker has already published part of the discovered code for the program, which can be used by anyone at the moment.
The source code is based to a good extent on the public jailbreak solutions released so far for iDevices, so it is not entirely the creation of the company. Cellebrite representatives denied that the source code of the program used to help government agencies access data from people's mobile terminals was also stolen.
Despite this, in the future others will be able to use this information to create their own programs with which to hack old or new iPhone models.
"It's important to demonstrate that when you create these tools, they will make it out. History should make that clear. The ripped, decrypted and fully functioning Python script set to utilize the exploits is also included within.”
