FBI head suggests agency paid over $1 million to access iPhone

At an Aspen Security Forum event in London on Thursday, Comey said the FBI had paid an unidentified third-party more money than he’ll earn in his remaining seven years as FBI director.

The Justice Department last month revealed that an outside entity had approached it with a method that could hack into the phone used by Syed Rizwan Farook, who along with his wife killed 14 people in the December attacks before dying in a police shootout.
