Lockdown Mode Foils FBI Access to Journalist's iPhone

The FBI says it cannot access data on Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson’s iPhone because the device was in Apple’s Lockdown Mode, a high-security setting designed to guard against sophisticated cyberattacks. Agents could unlock Natanson’s work MacBook Pro with her fingerprint and could read at least some Signal messages from another device, but full extraction from the iPhone was blocked by Lockdown Mode. A court standstill ordered paused further imaging, while the investigation—centered on a Pentagon contractor accused of leaking classified material—continues to raise questions about journalistic First Amendment protections versus government needs. Apple’s Lockdown Mode, introduced in 2022, tightens restrictions on apps, websites, and features to reduce exposure to highly targeted spyware.
