Much has been said these years about the great controversies around the security of iOS and how the Cupertino company has made the operating system (hand in hand with the hardware) practically unbreakable. In fact, this came to a head in the legal battle between the FBI and Apple. However, it has just been discovered that the NYPD has had a device capable of decrypting any iPhone without too many impediments for more than a year, has the entire iOS security team been permanently put in check? This could definitely mark a before and after.
This data has come to light after Cellbrite announced that it has a device capable of "hacking" iPhones and launched it on the market. This device finally allows the user to unlock the iPhone directly from the place they want, without having to send it to specialized laboratories. In addition, as they share in 9to5Mac, This device is relatively "universal", so it would be compatible with both iPhone and iPad and even devices running the Android operating system, in short, a true master key. However, we imagine that this will have a lot to do with the software and Apple will have in its hands to put impediments to it.
This device allows you to completely extract the file from the operating system, as well as access, for example, the specific data of non-native applications, we are talking about WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger chats without going any further. Apparently the Manhatan District Police in New York have been using this device since last year 2018 and have obtained good results. It seems that the strength of the Cupertino company is no longer as impregnable as we thought, Are you worried this happened recently?
And for when a device that will have safes?
And for when a device that deciphers credit card keys?
Bravo, legalize everything illegal!
It's in the hands of the police, not just anyone.
