Hacker Leaks Cellebrite Phone Unlocking Secrets From Microsoft Teams

A significant security breach has exposed sensitive details about Cellebrite’s mobile device forensic capabilities after an unauthorized individual infiltrated a Microsoft Teams meeting. The leaked information reportedly includes screenshots detailing the company’s ability to bypass security measures on numerous Google Pixel models, raising serious questions about corporate cybersecurity protocols and the accessibility of powerful digital forensics tools.

This incident represents the latest in a series of security lapses affecting major phone hacking firms over the past year and a half. Previous verified leaks have compromised both Cellebrite and its primary competitor Grayshift, which now operates under Magnet Forensics ownership. These companies specialize in developing advanced techniques that allow law enforcement agencies to access locked mobile devices when they have physical possession of the hardware. The repeated nature of these security breaches highlights ongoing vulnerabilities within the digital forensics industry despite the sensitive nature of their work.
