Challenges in Computer and Mobile Forensics: What to Expect in 2020

The past two years introduced a number of challenges forensic experts have never faced before. In 2018 Apple made it more difficult for the police to safely transport a seized iPhone to the lab by locking the USB port with USB restricted mode, making data preservation a challenge.

On desktop and especially laptop computers, the widespread use of SSD drives made it impossible to access deleted data due to trim and garbage collection mechanisms. The users’ vastly increased reliance on cloud services and mass migration off the forensically transparent SMS platform towards the use of end-to-end encrypted messaging apps made communications more difficult to intercept and analyze.

Sheer amounts of data are greater than ever... Does hi-tech forensic stand a chance with more data, more apps, more devices and increasingly strong encryption?
