The Army’s Cyber Defense Command acquired for the first time a tool that allows the extraction of data from cell phones, cloud systems of the devices and public records stored on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
The tool acquired is normally used by Civil Police, Federal Police, National Institute of Criminalistics and Public Ministry as a way of accessing data, including blocked ones, from cell phones seized from search decisions issued by the Justice.
The contract documents made for the Army unit do not specify which cell phones would be accessed or what the legal basis is for this type of access to private data.
