    Literally the opposite…

    Israel doesn’t want the IDF able to hide/leak anything about the ongoing genocide, so they’re making everyone use the phone that they can spy on.

    Like, Israel says it’s for safety but they’ve been committing an open genocide for two years now, why they fuck is anyone taking their word?

      Do you have any credentials at all here or are you just gonna keep reposting a six year old article about Cellebrite and a long since patched vulnerability. If you knew anything about this space, you’d at least try to post the latest info on which phones Cellebrite can hack. As for iOS, here is what I can find…they cannot hack phones running the latest version: iPhone Cellebrite Hack.

      For Android phones, Pixels can be easily hacked, unless you’re running GrapheneOS: Pixel Vulnerabilities to Cellebrite Hacks. Non-Pixel Android phones are likely even more vulnerable given that few manufacturers even try as hard as Google to secure their phones and do as much to keep their phones on the latest Android version.

      As someone with a career in tech, I concur with the original commenter. On the whole, Android is not a secure OS unless you run Graphene OS. If you care about security, I would choose Graphene OS, iOS, and then everything else.
