How the FBI accessed the Trump shooter's Samsung Galaxy phone

Investigators at the FBI's Pittsburgh field office first tried to open
Thomas Matthew Crooks' phone with a Cellebrite tool but weren't able to
break into it.

The phone was sent to the FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia on Sunday, where
agents called Cellebrite's federal team, people familiar with the
investigation told Bloomberg. Cellebrite sent the FBI an unreleased tool
that's still in development, which was able to unlock Crooks' phone in 40
minutes.

But the fact that investigators couldn't crack the phone using tools
currently on the market shows how developments in operating systems can
quickly render these tools obsolete.

Crooks had a newer Samsung phone that runs on an Android operating system.
Internal Cellebrite documents obtained by 404 Media show that the
Cellebrite tools currently on the market have failed to unlock many phones
running iOS 17.4 or newer, as well as Google Pixel 6, 7, and 8 phones that
have been turned off.
