Cops Can Bypass iPhone's Automatic Reboot to Get into Locked Phones
3 hours ago
- Apple introduced a new iOS feature that automatically reboots iPhones after 72 hours of inactivity, making it harder for law enforcement to access data.
- Magnet Forensics developed GrayKey Preserve and Evidence Preservation Mode to freeze iPhones in the After First Unlock (AFU) state, preventing data loss.
- The solution disables radio transmissions (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular) to isolate the device and preserve data indefinitely.
- This technology is seen as a game changer in the ongoing battle between Apple and forensic tools used by police.
