HAS
the time ofthe opposing case
the FBI at Appleas part of unlocking iPhone 5c from killer
San Bernardino, the name of the Israeli companyCellebrite
had been mentioned. However, it was later revealed that she was not for
nothing in the unlocking of the iPhone targeted by the FBI.
But recently, this company specializing in extraction tools
data was once again in the news, because it allegedly found a way to
bypass the protections put in place by Apple in iOS
11to extract data from devices equipped with the latest
version of the operating system and sells its services to agencies
governmental.
According to a warrant obtained by Forbes newspaper, the Ministry of Security
interior of the United States would have succeeded in obtaining dataof a
iPhone X lockedby using the services of the company
Cellebrite.
The latter has not publicly announced or shared details about the
how she managed to extract data from an iOS 11 device
locked, however she began to make it known to different
government and police agencies around the world that it is able to
access content from devices running iOS 11.
Cellebrite does not share this technique with the agencies in question to
keep the exploited flaw secret. However, she agrees to receive
the machine to unlock in its laboratories to then transmit the
data retrieved from the client.
THEtools
de Cellebriteare well known to the investigation services and
regularly used by them. Apple also uses them in its Apple
Store to vacuum and transfer data to iPhones as part of the
support client.
Apple regularly adds new protections with each news
version of iOS in order to secure the front door of an iOS device as much as possible
locked via Touch ID, Face ID and a passcode. iPhones and iPads are
moreover until now known to be extremely difficult to hack.
There is no doubt that Apple will do its best to find and correct the flaw
powered by Cellebrite to unlock and extract device data
sous iOS 11.
