The Israelis were out in full force. One Israeli firm in particular, Cellebrite, which specialized in unlocking encrypted iPhones and Androids, was the leading suspect for the FBI’s iPhone jailbreak. Cellebrite had timed a strangely public product announcement about its iPhone cracking software for the week the FBI revealed that someone had helped it crack Farook’s iPhone. An Israeli newspaper surfaced a $15,278.02 FBI contract with Cellebrite, dated the same day the FBI informed the judge about their new access.
