Re: Interesting twist ...
I'll grant you that the tone is a bit harsh. It's useful to know, however, that the devices can be exploited, and probably more easily than they can be jailbroken, to brute force a decryption. IOS devices have for several years had a reputation, deserved or undeserved, for being hard to break into, and some people may have purchased them specifically with that intent. This exploit makes it straightforward to create a brute force device decryptor. I fully expect some company with ties to law enforcement will have made one pretty soon. It only remains to be seen which law enforcement we're talking about and how much we trust them.
