FBI unlocked iPhone of suspects using FaceID
Thanks to the feature of FaceID, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation recently successfully opened the suspect's iPhone. This is the first time the FBI has performed the investigation from mobile devices of suspicious objects without any problems, which they previously could not do because there was no passcode.
Specifically, the FBI could easily unlock suspect X's iPhone X from Ohio (allegedly related to possession and possession of child porn content) thanks to a protective method. FaceID face secret. After unlocking, the FBI discovered in his phone the suspects' conversations with other subjects involved in juvenile abuse on Kik chat.
However, because there is no passcode, FBI agents cannot transfer data from iPhone to computer, so they still can't find more clues. But with the services provided by Grashift and Cellebrite, the FBI can still access the locked iPhone.
Under the fifth US law, the phone lock code is one of the things that every suspect has the right to keep secret. However, this law does not specifically mention the methods of biometric unlocking.
So the current iPhone is no longer a safe device for criminals to keep secret information.
