Cellebrite’s forensic applications do not include the type of security protections one would expect from a parsing software, which renders them susceptible to attacks, according to privacy-focused messaging service Signal.
The Israel-based mobile forensics company offers data extraction and analysis services to intelligence organizations and public safety entities, but also to military and enterprise sectors. Cellebrite claims to have thousands of customers in over 140 countries. It has reportedly helped the FBI access information on locked phones, including in high-profile cases, but it has also been accused of providing its services to authoritarian regimes.
The company’s software solutions, Universal Forensic Extraction Device (UFED) and Physical Analyzer, work by parsing data from devices. With that data generated by the applications running on the device, Cellebrite’s software is not in control of the data, thus prone to attacks.
