Common Use Cases
Application data and Wi-Fi network connections are two common sources to determine an individual’s movements. When a period of time is analyzed, this creates a comprehensive view of commutes, habits, and more.
Distracted driving is often a lingering question in these matters. Data can reveal key facts such as which applications were open during the time of the collision, when a message was sent/viewed, and even the lock status and orientation of the device.
In an ever-online world, photos, videos, and other files may be offered as evidence. Examination can verify when the data was created, where it was created, and if the evidentiary version is a true and accurate copy of the original data.
