3 Cellebrite
Customer information is not the only data at risk of being exposed in breaches. Earlier this year, Israeli data extraction firm Cellebrite had over 900 gigabytes of its files stolen by an unidentified hacker — which was sent to Motherboard but also posted online. That included client information and internal databases, but it also included more dangerous data.
Cellebrite gained notoriety as the firm that helped the FBI break into an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. And within that 900GB haul was a plethora of information on the firm’s data extraction tools. Presumably, tools similar to the one that it used to unlock and access an iPhone — a feat that’s notoriously hard to pull off.
