Supposedly the hack was released to the media.

"It was done through NAND memory duplication. Easy way to think about this is like this: Virtual machine, or in this case, virtual phone. Once they were able to duplicate the memory, they were able to run a simple password hack algorithm until they got the correct password. Whenever it reached the limit where the content would be deleted, they would just reset the virtual phone and continue right where tHey left off until they went through all combinations. Note this was reported in the news a few days back."

Now Apple fixes the security and everyone buys new phones.
