Cops Can Bypass iPhone's Automatic Reboot to Get into Locked Phones

Magnet Forensics claims it has found a way to preserve an iPhone’s post-unlock state and bypass Apple’s automatic reboot protections, potentially restoring law enforcement access to data that Apple intended to make harder to extract. For CIOs and technology leaders, this is a reminder that mobile-device security is an ongoing arms race: endpoint controls, encryption, and lock-state protections can be undermined by sophisticated forensic tools, so organizations must assume that sensitive data on devices may still be recoverable in the event of seizure or compromise. The strategic implication for IT is to double down on data minimization, strong MDM/UEM policies, and policies that limit what business data resides on mobile endpoints in the first place.
