John McAfee offers to unlock killer's iPhone for FBI
 

Anti-virus software creator John McAfee has said he will break the encryption on an iPhone that belonged to San Bernardino killer Syed Farook.

Mr McAfee made the offer to the FBI in an article published by Business Insider.

Apple has refused to comply with a court order asking it to unlock the device, dividing opinion over whether the firm should be compelled to do so.

Mr McAfee said he and his team would take on the task "free of charge".

The offer came as Mr McAfee continues his campaign as a US presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party.

"It will take us three weeks," he claimed in his article.

Security expert Graham Cluley told the BBC he was sceptical of Mr McAfee's claims.

"The iPhone is notoriously difficult to hack compared to other devices," he said.

All the FBI has to do is report that there are some nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence on the phone and 100 idiot hacktards will bust it open in 5 minutes.

Apple asked him to negotioate a "hack" so that FBI get their terrorist info, and Apple doesn't have to create a backdoor for the hardware.

like the fbi can't do it

obviously they can't LOL even apple will have to build an entire new OS for just that version of phone......5c the terrorist should have spent more and gotten the new 6s then this would be moot, even it won't allow itself to be copied over or vice versa, there is no way to get into the 6s right now.

I need Stickam.com data base hacked if it can be found and let out the profile YoungDevil. Dont let hackers know the topic of the profile.

why would McAfee offer to do this? I mean yes he is getting his name in the news but with so many people worried about their privacy I would never buy another McAfee product if he helped the Government hack our phones. :2 cents:

It's no longer owned by him... It's owned by Intel...
