BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones has met with representatives of the Israeli company Cellebrite, which helps police forces gain access to the data on the mobile phones of suspected criminals. They were rumoured to have aided the FBI in gaining access to the iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter (though some reports contradict this). From the article:
It's an Israeli company that helps police forces gain access to data on the mobile phones of suspected criminals.
Cellebrite was in the headlines earlier this year when it was rumoured to have helped the FBI to crack an iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter.
Now the company has told the BBC that it can get through the defences of just about any modern smartphone. But the firm refuses to say whether it supplies its technology to the police forces of repressive regimes.
[...] Mr Ben-Moshe claimed that his firm could access data on "the largest number of devices that are out there in the industry".
Even Apple's new iPhone 7?
"We can definitely extract data from an iPhone 7 as well - the question is what data."
He said that Cellebrite had the biggest research and development team in the sector, constantly working to catch up with the new technology.
He was cagey about how much data could be extracted from services such as WhatsApp - "It's not a black/white yes/no answer" - but indicated that criminals might be fooling themselves if they thought any form of mobile communication was totally secure.

Ironic that jews are finding criminals. All they have to do is look in the mirror and see a criminal.
When the criminal is the jew, there is no question he knows more about "breaking" encryption and getting the goodies inside than actually working for a living. He lies, cheats, steals, breaks things in order to take what the goy has created. But he won't take anything from his fellow jew because that is forbidden by his devil god.
The jews got to where they are ("Financially" Not morally, artistically, scientifically or any other way) by opening and reading letters sent through communication channels they controlled. At one time, they were the only way to send communications and they read all letters. Now they break cell phone encryption to read communications. They haven't changed one bit. Communication carries all the goodies anyway and the jew knows that. Once a jew ... always a jew.
