Police won’t be able to retrieve evidence from an Android phone if it's running LockUp, its coder ... [+] claims. But on Friday a security researcher is releasing an app that he says can detect when a Cellebrite is about to raid the device, turn the phone off and wipe it. LockUp looks at the certificate for each new app installed on a device and if it matches the one for Mr. Meseeks, it’ll factory-reset the phone. The LockUp app may appeal to those who wouldn’t consider themselves criminal, but could be under surveillance from their government. A Cellebrite and the Forensic Toolkit from U.S.-based AccessData were then used to grab all the data inside.
