FBI paid hackers over Sh100mn to break iPhone code. The Federal Bureau of Investigation paid hackers more than $1 million to break into the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino attackers. At least that's what has been said by FBI's director James Comey.
"More than I will make in the remainder of this job, which is seven years and four months, for sure. But it was, in my view, worth it," Comey said.
Based on Comey's salary, listed at about $14,900 a month, that comes to more than $1.3 million for the hack, the results of which have still not been divulged.
