Cellebrite, a digital forensics firm known for helping law enforcement crack into locked smartphones, has itself fallen victim to hackers. Technology news website Motherboard said Thursday that it had obtained 900 gigabytes of data related to the Israel-based company. It said the trove of data includes customer information, databases and technical data about the company's products. That phone was the subject of a major legal fight between the FBI and Apple; the company refused to help break iPhone security. Cellebrite claims to do business with thousands of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, militaries and governments in more than 100 countries.
