The Israeli company Cellebrite, at the request of the FBI cracked iPhone 5c terrorist Sayed Farouk, intends to repeat this with a locked iPhone 6. It asked the Italian Leonardo Fabretti, who was unable to get the Apple access to the smartphone of his late son.
13-year-old Lady, a foster child, Fabretti, whom he adopted in Ethiopia in 2007, died in September last year. The iPhone 6 has been locked using a fingerprint scanner. First, the father contacted Apple but was refused. According to the rules of the company, the encrypted data cannot be transferred to another person, except the owner, even if the death of the latter. Relatives of a deceased person can only claim the deletion of the account.
In Cellebrite agreed to help the Fabretti. About this Italian wrote in his blog.
“Just returned from their office in Northern Italy. The meeting went well. They were able to share a directory with the contents of the iPhone, but there is still work to access the files, he said. – These files contain hundreds of photos and correspondence, including video taken three days before her son’s death”.
According to Fabretti, Israeli developers are “optimistic” at the expense of file access iPhone. Cellebrite and Apple refused to comment on the situation.
Tellingly, last week, FBI Director James Komi said that users of iPhone 5s and newer models of smartphone from Apple may not be concerned about hacking their devices spetsslujbami. The method by which the Federal Bureau of investigation cracked iPhone 5c terrorist Sayed Farouk, does not work for newer models of smartphone from Apple — iPhone 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus and SE.
Komi did not disclose any details about the attackers or the amount that the state paid the Cellebrite technology for hacking the iPhone.
