Cellebrite builds the forensic tools law enforcement uses to get data from locked phones. As reported by 404 Media, the leak came from someone who managed to join a private Microsoft Teams call between Cellebrite staff and a prospective customer. During the meeting, the uninvited participant took screenshots of what appears to be an internal ‘Android OS Access Support Matrix’ and then shared them on the GrapheneOS discussion forum.

Same, can't believe I never read about it

Yep, seems like a no brainer for the privacy conscious - which is why it will never exist on mainstream mobile OS platforms.

In a similar vein, it's a good idea to encrypt your laptop/desktop devices and have a DBAN flash drive or other form of secure erase program ready (voiding the decryption key can be viable in a pinch).

I wonder if someone will be able to actually remember that during duress

My home alarm has a duress password but I'm never able to remember it

How is it that Google, one of the largest, wealthiest corporations in the world, who make and sell pixels, can’t make them as secure as a group working for free with zero first support from the OEM?

Honestly at this point it feel’s purposeful.

Can't vs won't.

Why windows 11 silently and automatically sends back to Microsoft servers the decryption key for bitlocker?

Why WhatsApp is asking every fucking month to enable unencrypted "backups" on Google drive?

Users have the convenience of Easy data recovery but also someone else.

Fun fact: tencent removed any kind of cloud backup from WeChat, even if that data would be so valuable for ai training. Or they could monetize it by having users pay for storage. Probably they got fed by too many government access requests. Btw I'm sure that the ccp is simply siphoning all the unencrypted chats (the app of course doesn't offer any kind of e2ee) at the server or network level and doing automatic "backups" in real time for every citizen

the point of pixel is so that GOOGLES AI can be trained on your datamined, and sold off.
