Most people keeping up with iPhone unlocking tactics know about the GrayKey iPhone unlocking box that is able to unlock most iPhones in under 3 days and has been gaining traction among police departments. Now, the company is facing issues of its own…
Recently, a portion of the GrayKey code leaked onto the internet (via Motherboard), and GrayShift, the company behind the device, is not happy. The leaker is demanding $15,000 from the company, which is the same price as an entry level GrayKey.
The leaker wrote the following message:
The site that originally hosted the message has been deleted, but a Google cached version is still floating around the internet. A second message, which was posted a day later reads:
Both messages continue and paste different portions of the GrayKey code. GrayKey is able to unlock and bypass passcodes of modern iPhones, including the iPhone X, on the latest versions of iOS.
The company claims that the code was leaked due to a network misconfiguration while configuring at a customer site.
Motherboard was able to expose portions of the GrayKey device’s code, and it seems like GrayKey relies on the internet to do some of its magic.
During this time, someone accessed the HTML/Javascript that makes up our UI. No sensitive IP or data was exposed, as the GrayKey was being validation tested at the time. We have since implemented changes to help our customers prevent unauthorized access.
