This Company Says It Can Hack and Unlock Every iPhone Ever Made - Speedy - 06-20-2019

“Your iPhone is incredibly secure, but it isn’t unhackable. As evidence of that, a mobile device hacking firm called Cellebrite says it can unlock any iPhone — even those running the latest version of iOS. Here’s what you should know.
Cellebrite & iPhone Hacking
If you aren’t familiar, Cellebrite is an Israeli mobile data extraction and forensics firm. It’s also a U.S. government contractor, and at one point, the firm was rumored to have helped the FBI break into the iPhone 5c belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters.
On Friday, Cellebrite updated its services page to reflect its newest offerings. More specifically, the webpage now says the company can “perform a full file system extraction on any iOS device.” That includes extracting data from devices running the latest iOS 12.3 update.
The company’s other services range from figuring out passcodes and bypassing Lock screen encryption for Apple devices. Cellebrite’s services are available to any law enforcement agency that can afford it (although, thankfully, not to private citizens).”

Any asterisks for devices set to auto-destruct after X failed attempts?

Can't one just use encryption software for the actual data they want to protect?
