The City, Buenos Aires and Federal Police could not unlock the IPad that Natacha Jaitt (41) was wearing
the night he died
in 2019. The tablet is owned by the Gendarmerie, which has a premium program.
They managed to access partial information, yes, but nothing more.
Since then, the software has taken more than
52 thousand attempts
to decipher the access code to the star's device.
Natacha's iPad is one of the
keys
to the investigation, so the access code would be the key to unraveling the mystery.
According to sources entrusted to
Clarín
, to open the IPad the program of the company
Cellebrite is used
, which the Gendarmería acquired in 2017 and is of Israeli origin.
It's called UFED
Premium
(Universal Forensic Extraction Device, its acronym in English, or Universal Forensic Extraction Device).
"In Latin America, only the Brazilian and Colombian Police, as well as the Argentine Gendarmerie, have the UFED Premium," the sources describe.
Natacha Jaitt and her tablet, which is now a key element in determining the circumstances of her death.
The program was acquired during the administration of Patricia Bullrich as Minister of National Security, of the government of Mauricio Macri.
“Each unlocking that the UFED makes has an extra cost to what was paid for the tool.
They call it a
ticket
and it is paid only when the goal has been achieved.
It is not cheap at all, it can cost about
$ 5,000
", they highlight.
And they add: "In the Jaitt cause, it was the company itself that
donated
the value of that ticket."
The Xanadú event room, where Natacha died.
The news of Natacha's death caused a
commotion
.
The case even began being investigated by
a special team
of San Isidro
prosecutors
: Sebastián Fitipaldi, from the Benavídez prosecutor's office;
Diego Callegari, from the Gender Violence Department, and Cosme Iribarren, from Don Torcuato.
Hacking
How
does
the UFED Premium work?
To put it bluntly, the program basically "
hacks
" the device.
"It installs an application that
bypasses
Apple's system security measures,
tricks the lock timer
that IOS has, and makes attempts every 11 minutes," specialized sources consulted by this newspaper described the process.
Natacha Jaitt carried her iPad everywhere, even to the dentist.
And they added: "Make attempts per dictionary, with a
limit of one million
."
In the case of Jaitt's iPad, they have already exceeded 52 thousand attempts in just over a year, after they were able to access partial information in March of last year.
"At the beginning, the data collected by the Justice are
20 thousand photos and 370 videos
, only part of it could be taken," Alejandro Cipolla said at the time.
And he added: "Now the iPad remains in the Gendarmerie for the remaining extraction and until the code that blocks it can be deciphered."
Natacha Jaitt's tweet.
"Technology is advancing at such a rapid pace that
there is no way to predict
when they might find the code; maybe an update comes along ..." the sources said when asked about an estimated time.
The case
The death of the star occurred on February 23, 2019, while the media model and radio host
was in the Xanadú
party room, from the Tigre party, at a private dinner with five other people.
Four of those guests, who were with Natacha at the time of her death, stated that the woman died after consuming
drugs and alcohol
.
The Xanadú Complex, where Natacha Jaitt died.
The autopsy concluded that death was the result of
multiple organ failure
.
But the family disagrees with that version.
This year, very close to the second anniversary of Natacha's death, his daughter Antonella and his brother Ulises Jaitt publicly demonstrated demanding
justice
and the exhumation of the body.
Also, for the first time, Valentino Yospe, Natacha's youngest son, spoke: "I want to know what happened to my mother."
