Jeff Hudson, CEO at cybersecurity solution provider Venafi, commented below on reports that FBI overstated the number of encrypted devices. According to the Washington Post, the FBI has repeatedly provided grossly inflated statistics to Congress and the public about the extent of problems posed by encrypted cellphones, claiming investigators were locked out of nearly 7,800 devices connected to crimes last year when the correct number was much smaller, probably between 1,000 and 2,000.
