quepasabebe I'm kinda curios of how? In the documents it shows that the accused had been sharing internet from his iphone to the pixel and been connected to wifi. What was the weak point? Signal? His hotspot through the iphone or maybe the router at home?
User error.
All of those things wouldn't ever be a factor in device compromise. They can't read signal messages, that's kind of why they need to extract the phone in the first place. Hotspot / WiFi access point history is also a common forensic source, you can access them on both devices easily.
The document openly claims it can't get into a Google phone in normal circumstances:
"Det hittades även en till Googletelefon inne i själva bilen (punkt 3) men denna har i skrivande stund juni 2024 inte gått att extrahera eller knyta till brukare."
MACHINE TRANSLATION: Another Google phone was also found inside the car itself (point 3), but this has not worked at the time of writing in June 2024 to extract or link to users.
This conclusion matches the expected outcome of our Cellebrite document sources exactly.
The document claims they got into it 'manually', and the pictures show them taking a camera to the phone's screen instead of screen recording. Worth noting screen / display capture for unlocked devices is a standard Cellebrite feature but they didn't do it, weird why they didn't if they had the option. I guess it's practice over in Sweden.
IT-forensiker har gått in i telefonen manuellt och fotograferat användarens eget alias
MACHINE TRANSLATION: IT forensics have entered the phone manually and photographed the user's own alias
If it was done manually they evidently had knowledge of the credential or they were consented. Targeting of other people involved, CCTV, forensics of fingerprints on the display, sharing the PIN with the iPhone, tons of potential factors would have led up to his failure.
Quite frankly I personally don't care about the heaps of trouble that scumbag gang bangers and drug dealers get into. They deserve prison and I am happy they've been arrested. I'm only making this response to debunk before people get concerned about it. If they were talking about all their acts on the iPhones they had by the looks of it then clearly they're not the brightest and GrapheneOS wouldn't protect them and hopefully it stays that way. There's tons of factors that would have brung this person down even without the phone's data I'm sure.
