Cellebrite, a firm hired by government and military groups to rip data from mobile devices, has experienced a hack of its own — leading to the theft of roughly 900GB of data.On Thursday, Motherboard reported that the Israeli company had experienced a data breach leading to the release of a treasure trove of data on Cellebrite customers, the firm’s databases, technical details relating to the company’s products, logs and evidence from seized mobile devices.
Cellebrite touts itself as a provider of “deep insight” into mobile devices and is known for products including the Universal Forensic Extraction Device (UFED) which grabs data from over 20,000 types of smartphones.
The Israeli security firm, popular with governments, has had a taste of its own medicine.
