Last week, FBI director James Comey hinted (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/21/fbi-paid-1-3-million-fee-for-iphone-hack/) at how much the agency paid to unlock San Bernardi** shooter Syed Farook's iPhone, saying it cost more than he will make in the next seven years and four months. The number worked out to around $1.3 million, as Comey's annual salary (https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/) is $183,000. However, sources **w tell (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-idUSKCN0XQ032) Reuters that the amount was actually under $1 million.

Although the FBI says it will keep the technique it used to unlock Farook's iPhone 5c a secret (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/26/fbi-to-keep-iphone-hacking-method-secret/), sources tell Reuters that the agency can use the method on other iPhone 5c's running iOS 9 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-9/). The FBI has physical possession of the mechanism used to unlock the phone and does **t need to pay the contractor any more money for further uses.
The contractor responsible for the method is a closely-held secret within the FBI, with Comey being in the dark himself, according to Reuters' sources. In mid-April, it was reported (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/12/iphone-5c-flaw-fbi-professional-******s/) that the FBI hired "professional ******s," at least one of which is*a gray hat researcher that sells flaws to governments, black market groups or surveillance companies.
