Mobile Forensic
DIGITAL TASK FORCE provides cell phone forensics services for a number of mobile devices.
Cell phones and mobile devices can prove to be valuable sources of information in many types of investigations. Parties in litigation seeking to prove the usage of stolen client lists often find important clues by analyzing patterns of activities on cell phones and PDAs, including contacts and their creation dates as well as when and how often certain phone numbers were called.
DIGITAL TASK FORCE performs cell phone and mobile device data acquisition on a flat rate basis. Where a cell phone or mobile device is listed as a supported model, DIGITAL TASK FORCE is often able to copy all of the data of the device for further review or analysis in a few hours’ time.
DIGITAL TASK FORCE does not provide cell phone forensics services related to spyware, malware, or hacking investigations. Our services focus on the preservation of evidence and recovery of deleted information for litigation purposes. DIGITAL TASK FORCE is unable to guarantee that the specific deleted data being sought will be recovered given how often data is overwritten on mobile devices.
The following content can usually be retrieved from smartphone devices:
- Call logs
- Contact lists
- Locations (Wi-Fi, cell towers, and GPS coordinates)
- SMS (Text) and MMS (Video/Audio) Messages
- Images
- Videos
- And More!
Mobile Forensic
Digital forensics operates on the principle that evidence should always be adequately preserved, processed, and admissible in a court of law. Some legal considerations go hand in hand with the confiscation of mobile devices.
There are two major risks concerning this phase of the mobile forensic process: Lock activation (by user/suspect/inadvertent third party) and Network / Cellular connection.
Network isolation is always advisable, and it could be achieved either through 1) Airplane Mode + Disabling Wi-Fi and Hotspots, or 2) Cloning the device SIM card.
