Israeli firm behind tech that reportedly cracked Trump shooter’s phone wants more fed business


Cellebrite, a digital intelligence firm, announced a restructuring Wednesday aimed at getting more federal business and is closing in on a FedRAMP sponsorship.

Cellebrite, the Israeli firm that made software reportedly used by the FBI to break into the phone of the man who shot former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally, has picked up a growing amount of work with U.S. agencies over the past decade, federal contract records show. According to Washington Post reporting, the FBI used Cellebrite software to break into the device of Thomas Matthew Crooks at the bureau’s lab in Quantico, Va., following an initial stop at the nearby Pittsburgh office. The move is intended to boost the company’s U.S. operations, Cellebrite CEO Yossi Carmil said, helping the firm engage with more departments and divisions within the federal government.
