Cases of people’s accounts and personal information have been heard many times so far, but this was the first time that thieves were doing something like this by unlocking the iPhone. In such a situation, the police was successful in controlling them.
This is another case of hacking the iPhone
So Paulo State Police has succeeded in arresting a gang after multiple reports of criminals in Brazil unlocking people’s iPhones and accessing users’ bank accounts. Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. According to Paulo, four people have recently been arrested and charged with involvement in a particular gang, mostly engaged in unlocking iPhones, accessing users’ bank accounts and then stealing their money. .
As reported by 9to5Mac, it is one of the most well-known and sophisticated gangs operating in the city of So Paulo, located in the downtown area. They take advantage of smartphone security flaws and can even bypass Face ID, Touch ID and alphanumeric passwords through specialized software.
According to police chief Roberto Monteiro, with pirated software purchased on the deep web, the gang has been able to extract people’s iPhone data. The police chief said, “When they manage to unlock the phone, the gang evaluates what is inside them. If people have bank account details, they use other software to extract the data and then start stealing their money.”
With the help of a Police Air Unit and three teams of Metropolitan Civilian Guard members, more than 80 police officers, 38 cars and 10 special teams were able to reach a building where criminals had sent people to unlock their looted iPhones. .
Following previous reports, Apple has promised a Brazilian newspaper that it will make it easier for users to delete all data from a stolen iPhone. However, the company did not specify what exactly it would implement. With iOS 15, users will finally be able to track a powered-off iPhone using the Find My app, which can also help.
