A defense attorney has asked a judge to grant their client a new trial after Moxie Marlinspike, the founder of popular encrypted messaging app Signal, found security issues with mobile phone forensics hardware made by Cellebrite. The case heavily used evidence collected by a Cellebrite device, according to the motion for a new trial obtained by Motherboard.
The news signifies continued fallout from Marlinspike's disclosure, although it is unclear how successful of a legal strategy discussing the vulnerability will be.
