There's devices sold to law enforcement that will allow them access to most phones by plugging them in. Believe it or not, Israel is the biggest exporter of exploits and hacks.
Unless you please provide sources, I don't fucking believe a word anyone says on the internet, and assume you are full of shit. Apologies if I sound rude, but I hate how people say shit like what you say and we all simply must take your word for it.
He's referring to cellebrite but others exist. It's 100% real.
look it up on youtube if you want
Look Up NSO group for an example of an Israeli based company making their money with exploits. Their most famous product is Pegasus. It's a zero click remote trojan for iPhones and android devices. It's probably different from what was used here but I wouldn't be surprised if other technology in this sector comes from the same region.
This was big news not that long ago. Pegasus spyware created by the Israeli NSO group.
They discover or buy zero day exploits and rather than telling the manufacturer about them they incorporate them into their software and sell to governments around the world
Pegasus was mainly about remote code execution but you can bet your bottom dollar they also have shit for opening phones in their posession
You sound rude cause you're trying to. There were plenty of ways to write that without sounding like a dick.

There's a fun podcast called darknet diaries that covers this kind of thing.
I need to start listening to that podcast. Seems right up my alley.
People posted multiple sources so now you really just sound like a dick, even if you weren't intending to, unless you were intending to.
