Apple patches deleted-message extraction bug
Open sourceApple fixed a bug that let law enforcement pull supposedly deleted chat messages from iPhones.
Why it mattersPrivacy claims, device trust, and incident messaging all get stress-tested when data thought to be gone is still recoverable.
Operator readTreat this as a reminder that deletion semantics are product promises, not magic. If your workflow leans on local-device privacy, review threat assumptions.
Verification noteSingle cited source in the brief, but the claim is concrete and product-specific. Worth moving on after validating patch scope.
