You may have heard about the Cellebrite
cell phone extraction device (UFED) in the news lately. It gives law
enforcement officials the ability to access all the information on your
cell phone within a few short minutes. When it became known that
Michigan State Police had been using the tool to access cell phones
during traffic stops, it raised concern with the ACLU.
Now, everyone is wondering if cops will be using devices like this
elsewhere. Will this new law enforcement tool be abused, or will it be
used responsibly in the pursuit of justice?
Call us paranoid, but we obtained a law-enforcement-grade
software extraction tool for the iPhone to see exactly what data is up
for grabs. You'd be surprised to see just how much data today's
smartphones can store -- and police can access.
