In late 2017, word of a new iPhone unlocker device started to circulate: a device called GrayKey, made by a company named Grayshift. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Grayshift was founded in 2016, and is a privately-held company with fewer than 50 employees. Little was known publicly about this device—or even whether it was a device or a service—until recently.
Thanks to an anonymous source, we now know what this mysterious device looks like, and how it works. And while the technology is a good thing for law enforcement, it presents some significant security risks.
This is not a “the sky is falling!” situation but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on. I’m sure Apple is.
Yeah, it’s a great thing for law enforcement. As long as it’s not abused or leaked, that is. But we know that could never happen, right?
Come on Shawn, it’s 2018. It’s the internet. EVERYTHING is a sky is falling situation. Where’s your instant outrage?
Apple will squash this on the next OS update.
