Description

Susteen is a developer of mobile device forensic tools (MDFTs), which has enabled wider surveillance in U.S. schools. Originally designed for law enforcement and military applications, Susteen's tools, such as the Secure View system, allow users to bypass encryption and extract sensitive data from smartphones, including messages, photos, and app information. An investigation by Gizmodo revealed from public records that schools have quietly purchased these tools from several companies, including Susteen, with some districts spending thousands of dollars on MDFTs.
