I've got an #iPad / #OSINT puzzle, and I could use any suggestions anybody has to throw out there.
Back in 2022 in the middle of the pandemic a medical provider in NYC sent my uncle an iPad to attend a virtual appointment on.

🇪🇺 Disruptive digital attacks, many of which have been traced to Russia-backed groups, have doubled in the European Union in recent months and are also targeting election-related services, according to the EU’s top #cybersecurity official.
A hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that targeted auction house Christie’s earlier this month.
The attack took place just before the start of its high-profile spring sales event involving more than $850 million worth of art.

Does anyone know what DOD department might have investigated #hacking back then?
Do I have any followers who know a little bit of Chinese? I am curious if the characters give any hint about this mystery PCB or its little IC on the other side. It uses inductive(?) and or capacitive touch sensing of three buttons and controls RGBW brightness.
