FAQ
Questions about digital forensics in Pittsburgh, PA.
Can business system exports be used in a forensic review?
Yes. Exports can be useful, but they should be evaluated with attention to source, completeness, metadata, and how the records were created.
Why is preserving the original device important?
The original device may contain hidden system artifacts, deleted data, encryption material, and metadata that would not exist in manually copied files or screenshots.
Can deleted evidence disappear forever?
Yes. Deleted files, messages, and application data may eventually be overwritten by normal device activity. Continued use after deletion can reduce or eliminate recoverable evidence.
Can internet history still exist after someone clears it?
Sometimes. Browser artifacts, cached files, DNS records, synchronized account data, and remnants in system databases may remain after a user clears visible history.
Why does encryption make timing important?
Modern encryption systems may become harder to access if devices are powered down, reset, remotely locked, or disconnected from trusted authentication sources.
Can a forensic review help when the other side already has a report?
Yes. An independent review can examine the source material, methods, assumptions, omissions, and limitations behind an existing forensic report or extraction.
