Earlier this month, the FBI announced it managed to crack open the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters — by hiring contractor hackers. Now we know roughly how much that cost the U.S. taxpayers.
FBI Director James Comey suggested at an event in London on Thursday that the FBI paid more than $1.3 million to break into the iPhone. Instead of giving a precise number, Comey said it cost the agency "more than I will make in the remainder of this job, which is seven years and four months, for sure."
Reuters did the math: With Comey's annual salary as of January 2015 being $183,300, the total is roughly $1.34 million.
