FBI Taps Apple to Unlock Pensacola Shooter’s iPhone

The FBI is looking to crack two iPhones that they believe were owned by Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, the Saudi-born suspect in the shooting attack that killed three people in December at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. Both phones are password-protected, and agents are trying to guess the relevant passcodes but so far have been unsuccessful, according to a letter sent to Apple s general counsel. The FBI has been in this situation before, when it wanted to open the locked phone of Syed Farook in 2015. Apple however refused to help, and ultimately the DoJ took the vendor to court over the issue.
