Cell Phone Forensics

Don't overlook the important evidence a cell phone can provide!

In todays information age, every instance of data matters. Cell phones are capable of storing a wealth of personal information, often intentionally, and sometimes unintentionally. This holds true for almost all mobile devices, such as PDAs, iPhones and other smart phones as well.

A cell phone forensic investigation includes possible full data retrieval dependent upon the cell phone or smart phone model. KHutch Investigations will conduct a thorough examination of the data found on the cell phone’s SIM/USIM, the cell phone body itself, and any optional memory cards.

Some of the kinds of data that may be retrieved and examined during a cell phone forensic investigation, even after being deleted, include:
