Possible Vulnerability in Apple’s Automatic Reboot

A vulnerability in iOS is being exploited to bypass the automatic reboot security feature, which puts an iPhone into a more secure state after 72 hours of inactivity. The exploit is being used by a cyber-weapons arms manufacturer. Magnet Forensics, the company behind the GrayKey tool used by law enforcement to unlock iPhones and Android smartphones, has developed a new device and feature to get around this inactivity reboot. The new device is called GrayKey Preserve. This technology allows access to iPhone data despite the automatic reboot feature. Magnet Forensics' development is reportedly being used to exploit the iOS vulnerability.
