Federal investigators are analyzing device’s content, although it is unclear how agency gained access
The FBI has gained access to the phone of the suspected gunman who opened fire on Donald Trump’s rally and is analyzing the device’s contents, the agency stated in a press release on Monday afternoon. The shooting, which killed one audience member and left Trump bleeding from one ear, is being investigated as an assassination attempt.
Authorities have been working to determine the motive behind the attack at Trump’s campaign rally on Saturday, but no clear picture has yet emerged. The gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks by the FBI, was shot and killed in the incident.
Federal investigators announced on Sunday that they had obtained Crooks’s cellphone, but had issues with bypassing its password protections to access the data within. FBI investigators then shipped the phone to a lab in Virginia, where agents successfully gained access, per the bureau’s press release.
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.
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.
