Limited distribution: Hunter Biden iPhone and iPad Backups (28.8 GB)

We have a copy of the encrypted dataset released on 4chan, which we have not verified or decrypted

We are announcing data from backups of an iPhone and iPad allegedly used by Hunter Biden, the son of the President of the United States’ Joe Biden. This data was released on 4chan by someone going as "Kiwianon." We are listing the encrypted dataset in our index. Vice has reported that at least some of the photos appear to be new data.

Limited Distribution

Due to verification issues, the possibility of tampering, sensitive media, and the legal issues surrounding decryption of the backups, we have not attempted to use the alleged decryption keys or passwords and are only offering our copy of the locked data in our Limited Distribution section.

Editor’s Notes

See the Hunter Biden emails dataset for concerns and issues relating to email data sourced from a Hunter Biden laptop. It's also possible these mobile device back-ups were used to populate the emails dataset from the alleged laptop.
