John Mcafee is offering to decrypt the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone free of charge so that Apple isn't forced to build a back door into its devices. He made the offer to the FBI in an open letter published by TechInsider.
Mcafee notes that the FBI is unable to decrypt the phone because it won't hire the most capable hackers.
"The FBI will not hire anyone with a 24-inch purple mohawk, 10-gauge ear piercings, and a tattooed face who demands to smoke weed while working and won't work for less than a half-million dollars a year."
Mcafee says that his team of hackers will be able to access the device given some time and he offers to do it for free so that Apple isn't forced to. Something he believes would be the "beginning of the end of the US as a world power."
So here is my offer to the FBI. I will, free of charge, decrypt the information on the San Bernardino phone, with my team. We will primarily use social engineering, and it will take us three weeks. If you accept my offer, then you will not need to ask Apple to place a back door in its product, which will be the beginning of the end of America.
