Photos: Sniffing out fraud with digital forensics

Evidence uncovered in everything from PCs to PDAs

When forensic tools are unable to capture data from an obscure or new mobile phone it can mean reverting to a painstaking manual process of photographing each screen.

This fixed digital camera is used to capture screens from phones, a time-consuming process that can run to hundreds of images but is necessary to produce screenshots to show in court, in the event of a dispute over an issue such as SIM card references.

    300 TB must certainly be a mistake -- what kind of storage are they using for that?

    Even if you have 1TB drives, you would have to have at least 300 of them to have that much storage space!
