Something weird is going on at Hacker News recently. I've been noticing these more and more.

Takeaway is to not enable biometric unlock if you are concerned about your data being accessed by authorities.

It's interesting because the latest Cellebrite data sheets showed them to support all iPhones including e.g. unbooted, but apparently not lockdown mode? It also showed they hadn't cracked GrapheneOS.

Wait, was this an oversight on his part about the biometric unlock? My MacBook biometric gets disabled after a bit and requires a password if the lid was closed for substantial amount of time.

Does anyone know if iOS in lockdown mode stops syncing mail, imessage, call history etc to your other apple devices? I am wondering if reporter's stuff was all synced to the non lockdown MacBook from the iPhone

Can anyone link a source for this? I’ve been seeing conflicting claims about this part.

She was not forced, and the warrant does not state that she could be forced. The warrant, almost certainly deliberately, uses far milder language.
