If there's an actual case where evidence on stored on a law-enforcement operated Cellebrite machine gets destroyed or corrupted, and if further forensics shows that it happened due to e.g. an aesthetically pleasing file with a specific payload being deployed on that phone, then the state is likely to charge the people involved in this particular act for tampering with evidence. And if it happens, then Moxie's original blog post would help prosecution a lot.
- akerl_ 5y agoGenerally, from what I can tell, statutes regarding “tampering with evidence” require both intent (which would likely exist here) and knowledge that the action is interfering with evidence of a crime (which seems pretty implausible). If Signal set up their phones so the user could click “I’m gonna do crimes, opt me in” and it would add the nefarious files, the risk of prosecution would seem much more likely.
