The Future of Secure Messengers: The Limitations of LINE and Telegram, and Why SimpleX and Element Are Gaining Attention

Behind this is the existence of a powerful smartphone analysis tool provided by the Israeli company Cellebrite. This technology can physically connect to a smartphone to extract and analyze internal data, and is used by law enforcement agencies worldwide.
