Android Forensics – What Lawyers Should Know
As opposed to iPhone devices, Android phones are produced by a plethora of makers, brands and models, from very simple to high end devices, they share similar protection security measures when we are dealing with new devices or new Android OS versions. In fact, like iPhones, Android device content is encrypted and protected from being […]
Windows Shellbags
When a user changes the view mode or position of folders in the Windows graphic interface, the new view remains available because Windows remembers that information in the Windows Registry keys known as “Shellbags”.

Solid-State Drives = Reduced Forensics Costs
Newer desktops and laptops are coming standard with solid-state drives (SSD). Solid-state drives are computer storage devices that differ greatly from hard disk drives (HDD), which have moving mechanical parts. Solid-state drives contain integrated circuits, similar to the architecture of USB flash drives. Although SSDs are pricier than HDDs, the advantages are numerous: 1) speed […]
Cyber Security Partnerships
Companies are increasingly budgeting for employee cyber security training and awareness with an emphasis on detecting and responding to social engineering and spear phishing attacks. As businesses mitigate against new threats, there is always the question of whether or not their trading partners are adequately protected. Some concerns include: a) is there an information security […]
Handling A Former Employee’s Computer
Theft of IP matters against former employees, and wrongful termination lawsuits have something in common: the former employee’s computer will likely have valuable evidence.

HR policies regarding exiting employees should consider the potential loss […]
