Patrick O'Neill writes: A year after the battle between the FBI and Apple over unlocking an iPhone 5c used by a shooter in the San Bernardino terrorist attack, smartphone cracking company Cellebrite announced it can now unlock the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus for customers at rates ranging from $1,500 to $250,000. The company's newest products also extract and analyze data from a wide range of popular apps including all of the most popular secure messengers around. From the Cyberscoop report: "Cellebrite's ability to break into the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus comes in their latest line of product releases. The newest Cellebrite product, UFED 6.0, boasts dozens of new and improved features including the ability to extract data from 51 Samsung Android devices including the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, the latest flagship models for Android's most popular brand, as well as the new high-end Google Pixel Android devices."

Sounds like Cellebrite is an enemy of the people

Sounds like the shareholders of Cellebrite need to be strung up by their necks until dead for allowing the government to spy upon us.

If I were one of the affected manufacturers, I'd get phones unlocked (in another name) and study them carefully when they came back. Maybe even install some spyware to try to figure out what Cellebrite is doing. And then fix those vulnerabilities.
