Is Your iPhone Stolen? Thieves Can Lock You Out of Your Own Device!

Have you ever imagined someone stealing your iPhone? What if the thief not only takes your device but also locks you out of your account? That’s what has happened to some iPhone users recently. In a complex and worrisome hijacking method, iPhone thieves exploit security settings, known as recovery keys, to permanently lock the device. In this article, we will discuss how this method works and…

Just in time for fascism, Apple has introduced a new feature into iOS which makes it exponentially more difficult for law enforcement to crack confiscated iPhones.

Basically, starting in iOS 18.1, if an iPhone hasn’t been unlocked in a while, it will automatically reboot. Why is this a big deal? Because it resets your login token.

Basically, upon first boot, iPhones are in a “Before First Unlock” mode, or “BFU” mode. After you punch in your passcode, they go into “After First Unlock” mode (or “AFU” mode).

In BFU mode, iPhone are significantly more difficult to brute force into. Basically, the iPhone’s storage and system are totally encrypted and inaccessible until AFU mode is activated. In addition, Apple disables access to a lot of items such as camera, Siri, and notifications which can be used to bypass the password screen. The data which can be given and received from the device’s port is also severely limited. BFU mode also completely disables Touch and Face ID. If you have your phone set to Custom Numeric or Custom Alphabetic, that makes it infinitely more difficult to get into your phone via passcode brute forcing.

So anyway, if your iPhone supports iOS 18.1, I’d recommend updating ASAP. Y’know… for… security update reasons. 👀

Apple has removed its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature for UK users, a move prompted by government demands for access to cloud data. ADP, which offered end-to-end encryption for iCloud backups, will no longer be available for new users, while existing users must eventually disable it.

This decision weakens iCloud security, allowing Apple to access user data, such as iMessages, when legally compelled. Critics warn this leaves UK users vulnerable to privacy risks, as governments and tech giants clash over encryption. Apple expressed disappointment, citing rising data breaches, but emphasized its commitment to avoiding backdoors that could be exploited by hackers. The change highlights the ongoing tension between privacy and surveillance in the digital age.
