US Schools Silently Buy 'Cellebrite' —Same Hacking Device that FBI Uses! For What?

The country's school districts have silently bought top-level hacking devices called "Cellebrite," which is known to be the Federal Bureau of Investigation's technology choice for hunting terrorists via cellphone or smartphone. The government-level hacking device is now in the school's possession, and their interests or purpose for the technology is unknown.

The particular story represents an excellent application for the use of said phone hacking devices on a school system; however, this may not always be the case that would be seen in educational institutions. There are currently a limited number of rules or prohibitions that allow the use of these devices in the country's school, meaning that there can be abuse in using FBI-grade hacking devices.

Moreover, students and teachers alike may be subjected to illegal or unlawful phone searches, which may not be reported to authorities when using. The data privacy breach by school systems may be used with abuse, offering the country's students to abuse, and most of these are part of the underaged minority group.
