iOS 17.4 security is still insurmountable for companies like Cellebrite

Cellebrite vs iOS 17.4

La user privacy and security It is one of its priorities for Apple. Those from Cupertino carry these two premises as their flag and are responsible for demonstrating it in each of the keynotes with presentations of new devices and software updates. There are companies, like Cellebrite, that are responsible for violating the security of devices and operating systems to access that digital content without permission from Apple and the user. A new leaked document from the well-known company Cellebrite shows that They still do not have enough technology for their UFED (Universal Forensic Extraction Device) system to be able to access the information from iOS 17.4. We tell you everything below.

Cellebrite still can't access iOS 17.4 with its UFED tool

The Israeli company Cellebrite has analysis tools and services at your disposal and digital forensic data extraction. That is, it is responsible for recovering information from mobile devices with important use in the sphere of criminal investigation, security and law enforcement. One of its most used services is UFED, capable of accessing and extracting data from mobile devices.

Additionally, Cellebrite has developed methods, including UFED, capable of accessing and extracting data from iOS even when iPhone or iPad is locked with passwords or encryption. In fact, one of the most important cases was that of San Bernardino (United States) in 2016 where the FBI had to resort to external companies, believed to be Cellebrite, to access the data of an iPhone belonging to an attacker who itself Apple refused to offer. Little by little, Apple improves its operating systems by closing all the vulnerabilities that companies like Cellebrite use for their products.

The last leaked document from Cellebrite shows that at the moment there is no company tool that is capable of accessing the information of iOS 17.4. This means that Apple has substantially improved the security of its latest updates at the software level but also at the hardware level, which provides another layer of security to the user.
