All it takes to break into an iphone, or any other phone is a good hacking program. All it takes is a phone number or even a fb account. There are many ways to access the phone’s emei
number or what kind of phone it is. Lots of ways hackers do this. And no, they don’t need your password to get in. How they do it, i don’t know. All I know is I’ve seen brand new phonws broken into within 30 minutes of brand new purchase.

And if there is a circle bot thing going on...a person’s life can be tormented horribly.

"How they do it, I don’t know."

No, PrairieLady2, you don’t know and everything you posted claiming "all you need is a good hacking program" must be why police departments are paying $15,000 to $35,000 for a hardware device that will only unlock older Apple iPhones, and why before those became available, the FBI paid over $1,000,000 to one of those companies, Cellebrite, which developed that technology to unlock the San Bernardino Terrorist’s iPhone 5C.

Cracking into Android phones may be a piece of cake, but Apple iPhones have the same level of encryption used that is certified by the NSA for use to protect our nations top secret information and keep multi billion dollar transactions between financial institutions secure.

It’s called 256bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which has never had its encryption broken. The iPhone’s telephone number and EMEI have absolutely nothing to do with accessing, locking, or unlocking the iPhone. . . and even less to do with the encryption.

A wise iPhone owner can protect his device from being unlocked even with the most sophisticated tools available to the government by using an easily remembered alphanumeric passcode of just six characters. Because it must be done on that particular iPhone which allows only one try every 1.3 seconds, for anyone to try every possible passcode to get into that iPhone would take a mere 2,147 years, working 24/7. . . and that’s with only six characters. With eight, it would take over 9 million years to find the one that would unlock it!
