Description

Grayshift, an American company best known for its tools to unlock encrypted mobile devices, has reportedly supplied its technology to Belarusian authorities to hack into locked mobile devices, aiding the Belarusian government in its extensive surveillance operations. These measures include real-time video monitoring systems and direct access to communications data. Its core product, GrayKey, is a forensic access tool that enables the extraction of encrypted or inaccessible data from mobile devices, including those protected by alphanumeric passcodes. In 2023, Grayshift merged with Magnet Forensics, a Canadian digital forensics company, to create a combined entity focused on providing advanced digital investigation tools to law enforcement and public safety agencies.
