    A security researcher recently created an app designed to thwart data extraction. Specifically, the program is meant to obstruct the use of Cellebrite, the digital forensics firm popular with U.S. law enforcement.

    Called “LockUp,” the app is the work of Matt Bergin. Bergin debuted his creation at last week’s Black Hat Asia (the annual cybersecurity conference that takes place in multiple cities around the world), where he presented it alongside his security research into the company.
