Dangers of digital evidence
| Here is what law enforcement is saying about the issue of contaminated digital devices. |
| “When I was a detective and homicide investigator, I was constantly having to deal with devices that had different types of biohazard. There are a lot of things you don’t even see. There are narcotics out in the public today that just upon touch can lead to… death.”
– Jason Brown, former homicide detective, Georgia “A lot of the drug cases in the agency I worked for involved fentanyl type cases, and it’s such a dangerous substance that having the proper procedures to be able to handle a device that’s been contaminated with fentanyl will save lives of examiners and other detectives.” – Matthew Domanic, former investigative detective, New Jersey |
| VTO Labs has created a decontamination kit for digital examiners and evidence techs. We know that using proper decon methods is just as important as the equipment. We developed an online course to help you do your job more safely, so you can go home to your family each night.
Here is a comment about our presentation on the Decontamination of Electronic Devices: |
| “Your presentation and your matter of fact explanation of the legitimate hazards faced by any and all digital forensic practitioners (especially inside the lab) is the most succinct depiction I’ve encountered.”
