GrayKey maker can reportedly bypass the iPhone’s ‘Inactivity Reboot’ security feature

Magnet Forensics reportedly found a way to preserve an iPhone’s After First Unlock state even if the device reboots, reducing the effectiveness of Apple’s Inactivity Reboot protection and weakening one of the safeguards that helps keep seized or stolen devices from remaining accessible. For CIOs and IT leaders, this underscores that endpoint security controls on mobile devices are not absolute: forensic vendors may be able to bypass protections, which has implications for investigations, legal holds, chain-of-custody, and expectations around data-at-rest risk on corporate iPhones.
