FTX, SBF, and Signal messages (www.theguardian.com)

I don't see refenece in this article or any others, but how did prosecutors get access to SBF's Signal messages?

Was it simply a court order that he unlock his phone (and agreed), or a codefendant who flipped to the prosecution and handed over the thread?

Signal desktop doesn't even have a PIN to unlock it. IIRC the reason was that if someone is already on your machine then you're screwed.

I just want it to stop someone like my son, who may have access to my computer legitimately, from seeing some of the NSFW messages me and my friends send each other.
