      No it isn’t as it is the default and can not be turned off (that’s good)

        Did you read the article? It doesn’t matter if you have encryption, they can break it in under a day.

          That’s not an article. That’s sales pitch.

            Are you implying the post title is inaccurate? If so how?

              Just look at the incentives. A company trying to sell a product is going to promise everything.

              This is not a third party review of the effectiveness of this product.

              So I do not believe sales pitches without evidence

                This is not a third party review of the effectiveness of this product.

                Since they only supply devices to law enforcement, I doubt anyone will find such a review, but I don’t think that means we should believe the product doesn’t work, at least in theory it sounds quite feasible to me. There is some information available online given by law enforcement saying that the product does work, personally I think this is enough that we should believe it does work.

                Yes this one is from the manufacturer but it does have more detail in how the device helped in individual cases if you are to believe what they say: https://www.grayshift.com/wp-content/uploads/101921_eb_Grayshift_AccessToTheTruth_V2-1.pdf

                  Strong statements require strong evidence.

                  You should always evaluate opaque claims using multiple sources that have different vested interests

                    While I do agree with you, not everyone will agree on the authenticity of a particular source. I guess there is simply no way to be certain what their capabilities really are.

          True but that isn’t a reason to give up. We need stronger encryption
