I just had a question pop up in my head. Why would a lone wolf shooter need encrypted accounts and apps? As someone who does not have the need for such apps, why would anyone who is not involved in a crime or part of some kind of underground network need this kind of app?

Ummm, because he’s talking to his FBI handlers. They installed the apps or told him which ones to install. 2024 is not 1963. White Hats have it all - and I bet they know who ordered the hit on GEOTUS

Lots of Communication apps are encrypted.

I have a pixel when I chat with someone with another pixel it's encrypted.

What'sApp Signal Telegram

Apple I think is all encrypted.

To keep the government from reading everything you send. Your logic is how we ended up with The Patriot Act.

This is true. Not too strange in reality

What IS strange is allegedly this kid had 3 overseas bank accounts

He did not The "accounts" people were talking about were communication apps.

Like you have an account to use this site.

Somehow people twisted it into bank accounts.

Everyone that understands concepts like 'scamming' and 'digital privacy' has a lockscreen enabled on their phone. This is the eNcRyPtiOn they are talking about.

This Israeli company Cellebrite (a subsidiary of a Japanese company) is the same mob that got into the locked (eNcRyPteD) Apple phone of the San Bernadino shooter.

The FBI announced this Tuesday that it has hacked into the phone of Syed Rizwan Farook, the mass murderer responsible the San Bernardino shooting spree that took the lives of 14 people.

This ends the Feds’s long and winding legal battle with Apple, who refused to help find a way to bypass the iPhone’s security measures, saying that it would threaten the security of thousands of ordinary iPhone users.

However, just last week, it was reported that a third party, Israeli company Cellebrite, approached the FBI with an offer to bypass the security measure, without any assistance from Apple. The FBI has since halted all legal proceedings against the company.

Cellebrite has declined to confirm or comment on this information. But according to Hackaday, the FBI paid Cellebrite $218,004.85 on March 28. Cellebrite is a subsidiary of Japan’s Sun Corporations, whose stocks have risen 40% since March 21, according to Bloomberg news.

White House spokesperson, Josh Earnest told reporters this Wednesday that American people should “absolutely” still have confidence in their personal privacy after this affair.

Pegasus spyware

– CaptainChrisPBacon 5 points 1 year ago +5 / -0

I had to look it up to find out what Pegasus spyware was. It can be used to secretly extract messages and photos, record calls, and activate microphones in smartphones. The Israeli government took extraordinary measures to frustrate a high-stakes US lawsuit that threatened to reveal closely guarded secrets about one of the world’s most notorious hacking tools, leaked files suggest. https://www.theguardian.com/news/article/2024/jul/25/israel-tried-to-frustrate-us-lawsuit-over-pegasus-spyware-leak-suggests#:~:text=Pegasus%20spyware%20can%20be%20used,and%20activate%20microphones%20in%20smartphones.

Plausible deniability. They want someone else to point the fingers so we can’t say the FBI investigated itself and found they did not commit any crimes.

FBiI is legally able to do it. Using a contractor wouldn't change that. All communications with them would still be foiable.

Cellibrite is the gold standard for cell phone extraction, as I understand it.

– SOGWAP 3 points 1 year ago +3 / -0

Espescially some most local LE agencies own a cellbrite. We had 2 of them as well as a ton of other software for phone forensics. The fbi should have an entire evidence collection team capable.

Ok so I worked in the cellphone industry several years ago and we used cellebrite devices to transfer data from phone to phone. I swear that I have seen this device bypass lock pins and get in. This device or new one was used with a computer. The take away is this thing could seemingly get through encryption and might have been collecting peoples data. Thats freaky to think about.

How does outsourcing to foreign companies fly in court? I mean in this case, I guess it wouldn't matter, but this can't be the only time the FIB does this

Because our government has now been infested with DEI hires that can't even jailbreak a phone, much less properly use one. That, and the FedBois need to get permission from [their] overseas masters.

So Israeli spyware to crack into 'encrypted' comms, Could be something like Discord, or Steam which all the young people use for gaming. Got it. The implication being that all those subversive young people will now have their messages read by Israel. Have fun with that.

At one point they were making out it was some really scary stuff, By saying crypto-comms or something like that - hinting at crypto-currency (LOL could be ROBUX - that would be funny).

InB4 But it was FBI communicating with him. Could be, do you really think we will find out? Outsourcing is so great, isn't it. The real adults will now examine the evidence and pass judgement,

I am sure.

Why not that a U.S. citizen get their own lawyer and sue the Government for their right to see what’s on that cell. Why is it unlock only to law enforcement. That shit on that cell was sent over to Hillary’s pad to be wipe clean with a cloth and a 10 lb. Hammer

The passcode on your phone is used to encrypt the data on the device. If you use a simple pin it's trivial to hack. If you instead use a text phrase it can be exponentially harder and you may need a specialty team to speed up the process.
