What a twat. So what are the bets on how long it will be until they get proof that he has logged into his phone and this is all bollocks?
To be fair that’s exactly what everyone should say when someone asks to look at your personal info!
True, but most people aren’t the former Prime Minister. I can’t read the article, because fuck paying any money to any of Murdoch’s outlets, but is it his personal phone, or one that was provided in his official capacity as PM?
I can’t either so I’ll have to speculate. I imagine it must be a personal phone, because a government-provided one should be accessible by their sysadmin so Johnson’s password wouldn’t be required. Despite his public act he’s not an idiot, so his personal phone probably will be encrypted, but I imagine the default iPhone encryption won’t be able to outlast the police’s resources if they really want to get in.
It’s definitely 00769.
I imagine “sorry I forgot my password” comes up a lot in police investigations, I imagine it wouldn’t slow down the computer forensics team much.
Forget the forensics guys, if he keeps this up they’ll be prepping the rubber hose and dentistry tools guys.
No, you can crack them with the right forensic tools, it just costs. I imagine of they tell BoJo they can unlock his phone but they’ll charge him £50k to do it, he’ll “find” his password tucked down the side of a mistress.
That photo of Boris is great. No really a ladies’ man… more like my Nan.
