Yup. Go figure.
Your mobile device /laptop/ smart home/ car, knows you better than you know yourself.
In forensics the term every touch leaves a trace is a core tenet of the profession this is very definitely extra true for the digital landscape !
The absence of information is ALSO important if there is no traces for a week then the device wasn’t turned on why wasn’t it turned on, and these days phones aren’t really off, (read transit passes) when you turn off your device you don’t automatically clear the state !! Memory is saved and then restored to increase boot speed..
Know your digital footprint !

Pakistani authorities have arrested 21 individuals tied to HeartSender, a long-running phishing and malware-as-a-service operation. The group is linked to global BEC scams and phishing attacks targeting Microsoft 365, iCloud, and more—causing tens of millions in losses.
This takedown highlights the growing international cooperation in cybercrime investigations and the importance of strong digital defenses.

A very nice blog post by Derek Eiri about the inner workings of #Fuji for #macOS forensic acquisition. Tool validation is very important in #DigitalForensics.

Daily Inspiration: "It's the types of crime that we can't yet imagine that we should be worried about!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Later today, I'll be doing a talk for the senior leadership team of the RCMP - that's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - on the future impact of AI. I'll have a few hundred police and civilian officials in the room and will take a pretty broad but intense look into the future. I'll be covering both the opportunity for the use of AI for crimefighting and public safety responsibilities, but will also take a look at the fact that the acceleration of AI leads to an accelerated risk of unknown crimes yet to be committed based on technologies that don’t yet exist!
Another way to put a spin on this? It’s the risk of unknown crimes yet to be committed based on technologies that don’t yet exist! That’s the future of policing!
(And yes, I've had a little fun with AI in this post. Look carefully, and that's me in uniform!)
The story of AI in policing is a complex one, involving many new opportunities and new skills to battle comprehensive new criminal risks - and one that is wrapped up in a lot of controversy when it comes to privacy and constitutional rights. And there is no doubt that these issues are going to become even more complex as things speed up.

This new volume offers a comprehensive study of the advances that have been made in cybercrime investigations and digital forensics, highlighting the most up-to-date tools that help to mitigate cyber-attacks and to extract digital evidence for forensic investigations to recover lost, purposefully deleted, or damaged files.
Generative AI and Digital Forensics by Ravindra Das, 2025
In today’s world, cybersecurity attacks and security breaches are becoming the norm. Unfortunately, we are not immune to it, and any individual or entity is at dire risk. The best and only thing that we can do is to mitigate the risks as much as possible so that they do not happen at all.
