Netzpoltik details that police are able to gain access in this way either through physical access to someone’s phone or by intercepting verification codes via a state-sanctioned phishing attack or intercepting SMS messages via telephone surveillance

.Just remember that police only go through the door when it’s easier than breaking a window or tearing through a wall.
