The "news" on this is vague to the point of being useless FUD. No information whatsoever on the phone hardware, operating system, or encryption used, let alone

The "news" on this is vague to the point of being useless FUD. No information whatsoever on the phone hardware, operating system, or encryption used, let alone the methods they've tried to bypass it (although one can hardly expect the latter, in the "interests of national security"). This isn't journalism -- this is parroting a boilerplate anti-crypto talking point.
