According to this report, Interpol managed to gain access to 983
encrypted files, using 10 computers running continuously for 2 weeks.

It would be interesting to know what type of encryption it was, as 2
weeks seems rather quick. If encryption can be cracked in such a short
time, it rather weakens one of the UK Government's arguments for
needing to extend the detention without charge limit for terrorism
suspects.
