It’s interesting they couldn’t decrypt his computer. Does anyone know if FileVault on mac has any known exploits?

  That's what they say.

    It could be what they would say if they wanted to keep you using it. Although, they could say they decrypted it when they didn't to get people to switch to something possibly less secure. This is all speculation though.

  It seems to just fall back to the user's password, at least on my Hackintosh. That's not an exploit but it does require repeating a password. I've never heard it said that it also explicitly doesn't do something like falling back to hardware encryption a la BitLocker. That's just paranoia-baiting though.
