BUSINESS & TECH Hacking industry may be helping FBI crack iPhone Page 8A East Oregonian NEW YORK (AP) — Turns out there’s a shadowy global industry devoted to breaking into smartphones and extracting their infor- mation. But you’ve probably never heard of it unless you’re a worried parent, a betrayed spouse — or a federal law enforcement agency. Now one of those hacking businesses may well be helping the FBI try to break into the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino killers. Late Monday, the FBI abruptly put its legal ¿ght with Apple on hold, announcing that an “outside party” had come forward with a possible way to unlock the phone. In an update for reporters Thursday, FBI Director James Comey said the method “may work.” If so, it could render Apple’s forced cooperation unneces- sary. The announcement has thrown a spotlight on a group of digital forensics compa- nies, contractors and free- lance consultants that make a living cracking security protections on phones and computers. Comey said the publicity around the Apple case encouraged such people to come forward with new ideas. Most such companies keep a very low pro¿le. Since the bulk of their busi- ness is with governments and law enforcement, there’s no reason to for them to advertise their services. In addition, it’s in their interest to keep exactly what they do under wraps, said Chris- topher Soghoian, principal technology expert for the ACLU. “The companies won’t share their secrets. It’s their special sauce,” Soghoian said. “And they certainly won’t tell Apple how they’re doing what they’re doing.” For the moment, no one outside the Justice Depart- ment appears to know who the FBI’s white knight is. A great deal of speculation centers on Cellebrite — an Israel-based forensics ¿rm that says it does business with thousands of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, militaries and governments in more than 90 countries — though it remains one of several possible candidates. BRIEFLY Follett’s wins sausage competition Bloomz Floral at new location HERMISTON — Follett’s Meat Company of Hermiston walked away with a major win at the Northwest Meat Processors Association 2016 Convention over the weekend. Travis Calhoun said the company’s unfermented summer sausage with jalepeño and cheese won the grand reserve champion prize in the cured meats contest. He said attending the convention was “great fun with good people” and it was gratifying to be recognized for one of their creations. “We focus on trying to make our product better and better,” he said. Judging for the sausage categories includes points in 10 categories, including workmanship, Àavor, aroma and mouth feel. The convention was held in Moscow, Idaho, on March 17-19. Follett’s Meat Company is based in Hermiston and provides custom meat processing for beef, pork, lamb and wild game that offers both stationary and mobile slaughter. According to the company’s website, it has been a family-owned and operated business since 1921. HERMISTON — Bloomz Floral & Boutique has changed locations. The Hermiston Àorist, which also offers gourmet chocolates, soaps, jewelry, tuxedo rentals and other items, is now located at 215 E. Main St., behind Goss Family Jewelers. All retail has been moved over to the new location. Owner Rod Zumwalt said they should ¿nish moving their workshop over soon. He said the new location has several advantages, including more parking and better lighting. The store is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

The Boardman-based brewery hired Dewey Weddington as director of sales and marketing, and hired Will Menderhout as Portland metro ¿eld rep. Weddington is former VP of marketing at Forest Grove’s SakeOne. He said in a news release that the company had a strong selection of everyday beers and experimental brews. “With a solid lineup of quality beers, packaging developed to work hard, and a statewide sales team ready to support our distribution partners, we’ve got the foundation set to run hard and long,” he said. Menderhout is the former Oregon manager for Portland’s Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider. He said in the news release that he chose Ordnance Brewing as his next career step because he wanted to help build an “important Oregon brand.” The new positions will help Ordnance Brewing’s marketing efforts keep pace with its growth as it expands to a 50 barrel system with production capability of up to 150,000 barrels annually, according to the company. Currently, the brewery offers a set of ¿ve core beers and a series of limited edition beers. It is seeking distribution domestically and interna- tionally and is poised to expand into ¿ve states this year.
