Upon reaching out to Cellebrite’s team, the FBI received additional technical support and a new, unreleased software, Bloomberg reported on Friday. This software enabled the FBI to unlock the phone in just 40 minutes. Cellebrite, which generates about 20% of its public sector work from federal customers, has defended its technology against criticism from privacy advocates, asserting that it is used only in legally sanctioned cases and not for surveillance.

The incident led to intense scrutiny of the U.S. Secret Service, with both the public and political sphere raising questions about how an armed gunman was able to gain access to an open shooting position just 130 yards away from the podium where Trump was giving his speech. This scrutiny is expected to have vast political consequences for Trump’s campaign and affect specific stocks and sectors.

Furthermore, it was reported that local law enforcement had cautioned the Secret Service about their inability to provide adequate security at the rally. The Secret Service was informed that the local police department was short-staffed and couldn't assist with securing a key building where the shooter later positioned himself and fired at Trump.
