After the straight NO of the tech giant Apple, FBI had to find some alternatives in the market who could help them in unlocking the phone. The biggest challenge for FBI was Apple’s iPhone are encrypted. It can only be unlocked the user pass code. Over excessive trial with the phone for unlocking it could have reset it completely destroying the data for ever. Possibly at this situation FBI expected too much from Apple. They had their own version of story behind refusing for help. Apple is very strict when it comes to user privacy and helping FBI meant straight away breaking their own protocol. This is why Apple said No for the entire operation.

After too much of heat, FBI was itself contacted by a group of youths who agreed on jailbreaking the phone for them. These youths were reportedly grey hackers who find vulnerabilities in the system. FBI agreed upon hiring them and they were paid a wow sum of 15,000 USS dollars for the one time assignment. Cellebrite the Israel Company was reported to be the face behind the operations of breaking the iPhone however they later clarified that thy not taken this assignment. The individuals who broke the iPhone for FBI have the sole legal rights for the technique used behind breaking the phone. They did not share the technique with anyone what they did and how they carried the operation for safeguarding the data and restructuring the codes for breaking them. They have delivered the iPhone 5c handset to the FBi however they completely refused to showcase the technique they have applied to iPhone for breaking their secret chamber of secret for gaining access of data. FBI respects their decision and have kept their names secret too. They did not public the names of the hackers who helped them during their operations.
