Sounds like this only affects phones that have been unlocked since the last restart, so unless they have kept them plugged it is unlikely that this attack would be successful.
- tyingq 4y agoAh, yep. I wonder how sophisticated (or not) a typical police department is with these kinds of procedures.
- Humbly8967 4y agoThis is why Graphene OS has an auto-reboot feature. So that a device cannot be kept plugged in until an exploit like this is discovered.
- Sophira 4y agoSome discussion elsethread[0] suggests that that may only be the case for devices that are encrypted, as the passcode in that case would be part of the key for unlocking the contents. If that's the case, it's possible that this attack may still work from a fresh boot for unencrypted devices.
