Electronic Evidence
Electronic data includes any record, file, source code, program, computer manufacturer specifications, and other imprint on a computer storage device. Because of the almost limitless application of computers in our society, electronic evidence takes many forms. It can encompass sensitive word processing documents, personnel records, customer lists, financial information, e-mail routed via the internet and local intranets, electronic scheduling systems, computer operation logs, and voice mail transcriptions, whether or not they are transferred to a printed page.
Did you know that in many cases "deleted" evidence that is needed to make or break a case is still on the hard drive? Retrieving it, however, requires skill and expertise in data recovery. Our experts can safely enter any microcomputer system, network, or data storage device to recover data and determine whether it has been tampered with, deleted, or damaged. Depending on your particular situation, CCF experts can search for specific data (such as phrases, files, numbers, or keywords), analyze and determine what different file dates may mean, or verify illegal use of proprietary information.
