The recent federal raid on the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson isn’t merely an attack by the Trump administration on the free press. It’s also a warning to anyone with a smartphone.
Included in the search and seizure warrant for the raid on Natanson’s home is a section titled “Biometric Unlock,” which explicitly authorized law enforcement personnel to obtain Natanson’s phone and both hold the device in front of her face and to forcibly use her fingers to unlock it. In other words, a judge gave the FBI permission to attempt to bypass biometrics: the convenient shortcuts that let you unlock your phone by scanning your fingerprint or face.
Also change the passcode type to alphanumeric even if you just use numbers. Makes it impossible for them to unlock it with that Mosad software. Though you probably need to make the passcode longer than 6 characters and add in a few letters. Like a 6 number passcode just take days to crack. While a 12 character alphanumeric code takes thousands of years.
