In Cellebrite's docs, they show they can extract the iOS lock method from memory on an After First Unlock device after exploiting it, so the opt-in data classes for keeping data at rest when locked don't really work. XRY used a similar issue in their now blocked Android exploit.

It would be a lot more helpful if people leaked the current code for Cellebrite, Graykey and XRY to us. We'll report all of the Android vulnerabilities they use whether or not they can be used against GrapheneOS. We can also make suggestions on how to fix vulnerability classes.

Hungarian format YYYY/MM/DD is far superior and ideal for computers as it automatically indexes chronologically if you use a date as part of a file name. Obviously, some languages were created with the future in mind. The English date systems UK/US are like using Roman numerals.
