The Army's Cyber Defense Command has acquired, for the first time, a tool that allows the extraction of data from cell phones, device cloud systems, and public records stored on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

The contract, acquired without bidding, was signed in the last days of 2021. At the time, the commander of the Army was Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, current Minister of Defense.

The tool is normally used by the Civil Police, the Federal Police, the National Institute of Criminalistics, and the Public Ministry as a way of accessing data, including blocked ones, from cell phones seized as a result of court decisions.

The contract documents produced for the Army unit do not specify which cell phones would be accessed or what the legal basis is for this access to private data.

1. Bolsanaro knows and has known for a long time that he will lose the next election

I will not be at all surprised that he charges election fraud and uses the Army to round up his opponents and people that voted against him.

By the way, voting in Brazil is mandatory.
