GrayKey, an iPhone crack device created by Grayshift, has attracted the attention of the U.S. government. The demand for such equipment from the relevant departments is very strong, especially in the detection process of some criminal cases that require critical clues.

Security vendor Malwarebytes has released an in-depth analysis of the cracking capabilities of the device, saying that it takes a few minutes to several days to crack the iPhone password. In addition, regardless of the iPhone model, or running that version of iOS, are considered to be cracked.

It is reported that law enforcement agencies can use GrayKey in criminal cases to investigate and extract data from the iPhone. However, due to security concerns, Apple has repeatedly refused the relevant department’s request for unlocking.
Malwarebytes pointed out that GrayKey still has the risk of equipment falling into the hands of the bad guys and eventually leads to exposure to users and their data.
As for how to fix bugs and mitigate the impact of GrayKey, Apple did not make any comments but promised to spend more time improving the security and reliability of its software.
