The review that is being carries out in the secret manner that would decide whether the vulnerability could be opened to the agencies of government or the private sectors.
Whereas the iPhone comes in question that was owned by the San Bernardino County Health Department as well as it was hand over to the employee Syed Farook, who, with his wife Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people and injured  around the 22 people during an attack on his co-workers last December.

Hess also said the FBI usually does not give any remark on vulnerabilities which were discovered in cyber products. Whereas the agency determined to make a statement due to the "extraordinary nature of this particular case, the intense public interest in it, and the fact that the FBI already has disclosed publicly the existence of the method."
And the statement of Hess established an information from the sources of U.S. government on Tuesday that the conditionally FBI had decided which is not to share the unlocking mechanism of iPhone since the agency did not own it.
