🔴 FBI Extracts Suspect’s Deleted Signal Messages Saved in iPhone Notification Database
Joseph Cox at 404 Media:
The FBI was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone, even after the app was deleted, because copies of the content were saved in the device’s push notification database, multiple people present for FBI testimony in a recent trial told 404 Media.
9to5Mac has some additional details if you hit 404 Media’s paywall.
There’s a setting in Signal to prevent actual message content from showing up in notifications, but this person didn’t have it enabled.
Stay safe out there, kids.
