As mobile devices become more and more
dominant in our lives, the opportunity to store and circulate information is
more possible than ever.
Mobile devices have many different
features, like the ability to take photos and videos. When a multimedia file is
taken, many devices automatically embed GPS location of the handset at that
time. This then allows the location of the user at that exact moment to be
established at a later date.
Multiple communication features, such as
Bluetooth, WiFi 3G and 4G enable the transfer of information that can even
cross international boundaries. Users can browse the internet, send and receive
emails, post blogs and even removable media cards can be inserted into the
device allowing information to be exchanged.
Depending on the client, the following
information can be recovered from a mobile phone:
- SMS
- Call history
- Photos
- Videos
- WhatsApp history
- Passwords
Mobile devices are similar to computers,
but with far more powerful capabilities. The value of the evidence found on a
smartphone or any other mobile device must never be overlooked! The TCG Forensic Division has the cellular and digital expertise to extract and uncover
the evidence you need.
