Russia Used Cellebrite on Jailed Activist's iPhone Months After Sales Cutoff

Russian authorities used Cellebrite's UFED forensic tools to break into the iPhone of detained opposition activist Andrey Pivovarov in June 2021, three months after Cellebrite stopped selling its tools and services to Russia and Belarus. The finding, published by Citizen Lab on June 25, is based on traces on the phone and an official Russian source.
