The maker of iPhone unlocking device GrayKey is experiencing a little brute force of its own.
HackRead reports:
GrayKey is a device developed by GrayShift and it has been creating headlines ever since it was publicly disclosed. The tool is claimed to be able to unlock almost any iPhone running any iOS version including the iPhone X using the brute-force attack technique. Oddly enough, the device is the apple of the eyes of law enforcement officials as they have become the top buyers of this costly tool priced between $15,000 and $30,000.
However, much to their dismay, the company itself became a victim of data breach since an unknown party obtained GrayKey code snippets and started publishing them online one-by-one. Now the hackers are demanding 2 Bitcoin as ransom.
According to Motherboard, the message posted by the hackers and addressed to the co-founder of GrayShift read: “Mr. David Miles, This is addressed to you and any other people interested in keeping GrayKey product secure and not available to the wide public.”
