"Easily"? Did anyone say it would be easy?

My guess is that the "hacker" was once a colleague of a certain Mr Snowden and has access to some ferocious processing power, ad-hoc chip fabbing plant etc.

Or maybe the iPhone can be hacked with a mashed Bic pen like those super-expensive bike locks were back when bikes were cool.
