I was wondering from the AI article, but the linked article makes it clear that NEMCC's *students* saved the $6 million on textbooks, not the school. College students almost always buy their own textbooks. Presumably the savings is from switching to…

Malwarebytes further notes that the device appears to combine a jailbreak with the brute force attack, since the brute force attack runs on the iPhone itself. It says it takes up to three days to get a six-character password. It's not clear whether …
