On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump held a rally in Butler (Pennsylvania state of the USA) which will probably go down in history: a man killed one of the participants and seriously injured two other people. The shooter wanted to attack Trump, but was only fed a bullet. The FBI looked into the matter and conducted forensic investigations. The investigating authority will want to find as much useful information as possible about the perpetrator who died in the attack. The shooter’s smartphone played an important role, but did not pose any significant challenges for investigators.

FBI cracks smartphone in two days
FBI informs Internet about the current state of the investigation: There are almost 100 interviews, and authorities are still investigating the shooter. The smartphone was charged. How this could happen so quickly is unclear: noise The Verge FBI agents in Pennsylvania have previously tried to gain access to phone data, but failed. The machine was sent to a laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. After two days, the FBI reported success. It is not clear from the current information which smartphone model it is. However, it is surprising how quickly the authorities have access to the device.

Do you use tools like Cellebrite and GrayKey?
Sometimes it takes weeks or even months for the FBI to crack a smartphone. The Verge said security researcher Cooper Quintin, referring to Cellebrite: This is a device from the Israeli company of the same name that aims to help law enforcement authorities extract data from smartphones. The use of GreyKey is also discretionary: the manufacturer of the tool promises, among other things, “full support” for iOS 17. The FBI has approached Apple several times in the past in an attempt to circumvent the encryption on the iPhones of suspects. Cupertino often builds back doors for investigative executives.
