Looks like this article *also* has Lockdown Mode Enabled.
Sucks for them. Good to hear the feature works.
On iPhone, click the lock button 5 times quickly.
It’ll automatically disable the Face or Touch ID.
Police can compel you do use fingerprint or face to access a device, but cannot compel you to tell them your password.
Gotta start buying burner phones or what?
Note to self….
press x to doubt
Sure… we believe you FBI
I get biometrics might be more convenient, but is it any more secure than a PIN/Password?
IMO it be long and Tim will get em what they need. They
I know the sub we’re in but its kinda telling of the unique times we are in that this is the first Im hearing of this story and its not about the part where the FBI & regime are going after a journalist, seemingly to intimidate the press once again.
The worst part is that this wasnt even about finding out who the leaker was as they have the MD govt contractor charged & in custody with this being extremely unprecedented going after the journalist like this who broke no laws. There has never been another case where any DOJ has executed a search warrant in a national security leak case against a journalist or against a news outlet.
So this seems more like intimidation than anything which is what we have seen them do so many times in just the past year alone.
cant they ask Apple to unlock the icloud account that has all the backups?
isnt Apple obligated to work with gov when requested?
We hear you Tim Apple
For fuck sake, stop posting this.
Or so they say
**How to enable Lockdown Mode**:
Settings > Privacy & Security > scroll to the bottom and choose Lockdown Mode > turn on lockdown mode
Good to know it actually works.
ngl lockdown mode is goated. i’ve had it on for a while now and it’s cool seeing it stop the feds instead of just being vaporware
Unless I’m mistaken, Lockdown mode can also be turned on by just rebooting the phone. Which requires a pin and pin only to unlock. This applies to both Apple and Android.
I was just changing my settings to add this since I had no idea this was a thing I’m general but Galaxy has it too. There is also an option to factory reset your phone after 20 failed attempts to enter the passcode occurs.
Open the damn phone
