The Atlanta-based company makes the GrayKey, previously described as the world's best iPhone hacking tech for police and intelligence agents, allowing them to break passcodes and retrieve information from inside Apple devices. That's the most spent on the superpowered iPhone hacking service by any government department, local or federal, looking across public records.
