\"forensikAs technology advances, digital forensics is becoming increasingly important for many businesses to address the growing risk of fraud. For example, in 2012, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, faced a lawsuit from Paul Ceglia who claimed rights to 50% of Facebook shares based on an agreement allegedly signed in 2003. Thanks to the hard work of Facebook’s investigation team, it was proven that the claim was false. This finding shows how important the role of technology is in investigating fraud cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is digital forensics?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Digital forensics or computer forensics is a branch of forensic science that involves the identification, preservation, recovery and analysis of digital evidence from computers or other digital media devices. With the advancement of digital technology, fraudsters have become increasingly adept at eliminating traces. However, this evidence is often the key to uncovering the truth in court. Forensic investigators are tasked with gathering legitimate evidence to present in court.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tracking deleted documents<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Fraudsters often try to delete documents on devices to eliminate traces. Even if the document is lost, the device retains a trace of the document’s location in its memory. Lost documents may not be recovered intact, but investigators with the help of specialized software can identify the document’s metadata, such as the document’s author, last creation time, and last access time. This data can be used to prove or disprove claims related to evidence on the hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reveal internet search and email history<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to deleted documents, investigators can also find internet search history and emails sent and received, even if they have been deleted. They can even detect whether an email is forged. These findings can provide key evidence in a fraud case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Collaboration in investigations<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Forensic investigators often work with other investigators, such as forensic accounting investigators, to investigate a case. For example, a forensic accounting investigator may provide specific keywords to a forensic investigator to search for evidence on a computer or digital media device. This saves time and effort. Conversely, a forensic accounting investigator may need the help of a technology investigator to trace a case of financial statement theft through an email trail.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in practice, companies often need a third party to conduct digital analysis. Why? Overall, third parties can provide significant value to the company conducting the investigation. Their expertise, experience, objectivity and resources can help ensure that investigations are conducted correctly, efficiently and reliably.<\/span><\/p>\n
