This document provides guidance for first responders on handling digital evidence at crime scenes. It discusses the types of electronic devices that may contain digital evidence, including computers, storage devices, handheld devices, and peripheral equipment. It emphasizes the importance of properly recognizing, documenting, collecting, packaging, transporting, and storing digital evidence to preserve its integrity. Due to the fragile nature of digital data and legal restrictions, first responders are advised only to secure devices and seek assistance from forensic experts in examining their contents. The document aims to help law enforcement identify and process digital evidence while avoiding altering or destroying important information.
This document summarizes a study on zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits. The study obtained rare access to data on zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits to analyze metrics like life status, longevity, collision rates, and development costs. Some key findings include: 1) exploits have an average lifespan of 6.9 years after discovery before being patched, but 25% will last less than 1.5 years and 25% will last over 9.5 years, 2) after 1 year, approximately 5.7% of vulnerabilities in a stockpile will be discovered and disclosed by others, and 3) once an exploitable vulnerability is found, the median time to develop a working exploit is 22 days. The results provide insights to inform policy debates on

Once upon a time, records meant paper documents. They lived in file cabinets, and they were managed and maintained by secretaries, librarians and archivists who knew the rules, and applied them diligently. When space for more file cabinets ran out, the records were put in boxes, marked with a destruction date, and shipped out to a box store (a paper records outsource provider). When the destruction date was reached, the box store would take care of destroying it, and recording the fact that it had been done.
Nowadays, records exist in electronic form all over the business, often well beyond the reach of the traditional custodians. So we now need much wider “Information Governance Policies” to ensure that our corporate information (and our customers’ information) is secure and is easily located. In particular, businesses are increasingly faced with the possibility of high profile criminal, commercial and patent cases that hinge on evidence from electronic documents, from emails, and even from social network comments. So these records need to be “discoverable” and presentable to regulators and lawyers. And as the argument moves on from “how do we keep stuff?” to “how can we defensibly get rid of stuff?”, we need to examine what shape enterprise records management takes and, in the big data age, how do we keep a lid on the escalating costs of content storage?
In this survey, AIIM looks at the risk profile around electronic records, the keep-all versus delete-all options, the international view of e-discovery, and the implications of social, mobile and cloud on RM policies. We also look at the development of enterprise-wide governance policies, and how they translate into system strategies.
This document presents findings from a study on the quantity of information consumed by Americans in 2008. Some key findings include:
- Americans consumed about 1.3 trillion hours of information, averaging nearly 12 hours per day. Total consumption was 3.6 zettabytes (3,600 exabytes) and 10,845 trillion words.
- Video sources, especially television and computer games, dominate bytes of information consumed, accounting for over 2.5 zettabytes. However, when measured by hours or words, information sources are more distributed, with substantial amounts from radio, internet browsing, and others.
- Traditional media like television and radio still make up the majority (60%) of daily information
This document discusses animal cruelty as a gateway crime and provides recommendations for law enforcement. It details findings from a focus group which identified a lack of communication between animal control and law enforcement and an awareness gap regarding animal abuse as a precursor to other crimes. The document advocates for increased training on this issue and provides information on intervention programs, prevention initiatives, and tools like a smartphone app to address animal cruelty and its link to other offenses.

In the modern world, the high technology and the Internet carry a huge favor, greatly improving our lives and opening up new opportunities.
But unfortunately, they also serve as a weapon or infrastructure for the crime.
It is not only about computer crimes which are usually associated with high technology. Nowdays various criminal acts such as fraud, offences related to corruption, sales of illegal drugs, counterfeit products and medicines, economic crimes, crimes related to violation of intellectual property rights (digital piracy) are committed by means of high technology. Also, terrorists and extremists maintain communication and coordinate their actions using modern technologies.
All these factors lead to an increase of the number of crimes and active development of the black market and the shadow economy around the world.
Society, the state and the companies found themselves not ready for such a rapid change of technologies and criminal environment.
Awareness of high-tech crime problem is very important but requires a deep technical analysis and understanding of criminal schemes. The high technologies allow crime to act quickly and anonymously. It has no rules and bureaucracy. Crime now has an opportunity to ignore borders and freely break the law. Use of cryptocurrencies and the deep Web contribute to the development of high-tech crime.
Methods used by the classical cybercriminals move on to the arms of organized crime which allows it to commit more audacious crimes. Also the instruments developed by cybercriminals used for public and industrial espionage.
We aim at providing modern society with an understanding of high-tech crime that would make a proper risk estimation possible, give the ability to take the necessary measures to minimize it, provide with the choice of the methods of countermeasures, would allow adequate collaboration and improve the legislation around the world.
The other important thing is understanding of economics of those crimes. The main goal of crime is receiving illegal income and there is no surprise that market for high-tech crime on its turnover will soon be close to drug-dealing. Hi-Tech crimes cannot be touched and cybercriminals do not look negatively in the opinion of modern society.
Group-IB continuously conducts research and provides analytical information about the current status and changes not only cyber-threats but cybercrime as well. We hope that this report and other analytical information will be used in strategic planning and rapid response to current risks and security threats.
In this report we focus on high-tech crimes associated with traditional computer crime. However, as noted above, the methods used by traditional computer crime, instruments of commission of crimes and ensuring anonymity will be adopted by representatives of usual organized crime.

This document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted by AIIM regarding organizations' information governance policies and systems. The key findings include:
- Electronic records are rapidly increasing in most organizations while paper records are stabilizing. No organizations reported decreasing electronic records.
- Most organizations are not confident about what information is safe to delete or that they only store necessary information due to the large volumes of electronic content.
- There is interest in automated classification and metadata assignment to help manage electronic records and information at scale. However, the accuracy of current automated systems is still a concern for many organizations.

Abstract
Cyber-Terrorism: Finding a Common Starting Point
Attacks on computer systems for both criminal and political purposes are on the
rise in both the United States and around the world. Foreign terrorist organizations are
also developing information technology skills to advance their goals. Looking at the
convergence of these two phenomena, many prominent security experts in both
government and private industry have rung an alarm bell regarding the potential for acts
of cyber-terrorism. However, there is no precise definition of cyber-terrorism under
United States law or in practice among cyber-security academicians. The lack of a
common starting point is one of the reasons existing law fails to directly address cyber-
terrorism.
This paper furnishes a lexicon of cyber-related malicious activities and argues for a
common working definition of cyber-terrorism. This definition can be both incorporated
into current counter-terror legislation and used by government agencies to combat cyb ...
This document summarizes a research report by Cardiff University on the implications of economic cybercrime for policing. It discusses the challenges of defining and measuring economic cybercrime. It also examines key issues for policing related to innovation in cybercrime, cybercriminal offenders, and cyber defenses. The report explores the impacts of economic cybercrime on individuals and organizations and how policing can help combat these crimes through roles in protecting victims, preventing further crimes, and pursuing offenders while improving engagement. It concludes by considering questions and potential responses for addressing economic cybercrime.
This document provides an analysis of the legal and technological privacy implications of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. It was prepared by Dr. Teresa Scassa, Dr. Theodore Chiasson, Professor Michael Deturbide, and Anne Uteck for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. The document contains 5 parts that define RFID technology, explore its deployment, overview developments outside of Canada, examine industry standards and consumer advocacy, and apply Canadian privacy law to RFIDs.
The document is a summary report of Trustwave's security investigations in 2019. Some key findings include:
- Investigations involved thousands of compromises across 16 countries, with most in North America (33%) and Asia-Pacific (35%).
- The retail (24%) and financial (18%) industries were most affected. The majority of breaches involved corporate networks (54%) followed by e-commerce (22%) and cloud (20%).
- The median number of days to detect internally compromised incidents decreased to 2 days from 11 in 2018, while external detection time increased to 86 days from 55. Half of all breaches involved phishing/social engineering.
This document discusses the challenges healthcare organizations face in securing protected health information and complying with regulations in light of increased automation and electronic records adoption.

Regulating for a Digital Economy: Understanding the Importance of Cross-Borde...accacloud
Cross-border data access, usage, and exchange are essential to economic growth in the digital age. Every sector—including manufacturing, services, agriculture, and retail—relies on data and on the global flow of that data. Whether directly, or by indirectly taking advantage of global-scale data infrastructure such as cloud computing, global connectivity has enabled cross-border economic activity, allowing individuals, startups, and small businesses to participate in global markets. However, while the economic and trade opportunity from connectivity and data flows are significant, governments are increasingly introducing measures which restrict data flows—data localization measures.
This report reviews the various mechanisms by which governments are attempting to manage their digital economy. It covers the issues of data localization and data residency, clarifies cross-border data flow restrictions by developing a typology of data localization mechanisms like privacy, cybersecurity, law enforcement, digital protectionism, and levelling the playing field for businesses.

The document discusses challenges in network forensics and describes a scenario where the chief forensic investigator Judy at NAI calls a meeting with her team to discuss analyzing network logs to investigate unusual login attempts from the CFO's account while he was on vacation, highlighting that network logs are an important source of forensic evidence but networks present complexities for investigators due to multiple devices, external networks, and log files from various sources.
This document summarizes a report on electronic identification (e-ID) systems used internationally. It finds that while many countries have invested in national e-ID systems, Estonia has achieved the most widespread deployment and use. Estonia has issued over 1.2 million e-ID smartcards and seen over 52 million electronic signatures and 88 million authentication transactions. In contrast, the US does not have a national e-ID system. The report provides recommendations for the US based on lessons from early-adopting countries, including creating an implementation plan with stakeholder input, using government to increase supply and demand, ensuring accessibility, and designing the system for interoperability and the global digital economy.

The document examines the potential for non-state actors to deploy virtual currencies to increase their political or economic power. It discusses how virtual currencies have evolved from early digital currencies and explores Bitcoin and other altcoins. It considers why a non-state actor may want to deploy a virtual currency and the technical challenges involved, such as developing software, gaining adoption, ensuring anonymity, and protecting against cyber threats. The document also discusses how technologies behind virtual currencies could enable resilient decentralized services beyond just currency.

In the modern world, the high technology and the Internet carry a huge favor, greatly improving our lives and opening up new opportunities.
But unfortunately, they also serve as a weapon or infrastructure for the crime.
It is not only about computer crimes which are usually associated with high technology. Nowdays various criminal acts such as fraud, offences related to corruption, sales of illegal drugs, counterfeit products and medicines, economic crimes, crimes related to violation of intellectual property rights (digital piracy) are committed by means of high technology. Also, terrorists and extremists maintain communication and coordinate their actions using modern technologies.
All these factors lead to an increase of the number of crimes and active development of the black market and the shadow economy around the world.
Society, the state and the companies found themselves not ready for such a rapid change of technologies and criminal environment.
Awareness of high-tech crime problem is very important but requires a deep technical analysis and understanding of criminal schemes. The high technologies allow crime to act quickly and anonymously. It has no rules and bureaucracy. Crime now has an opportunity to ignore borders and freely break the law. Use of cryptocurrencies and the deep Web contribute to the development of high-tech crime.
Methods used by the classical cybercriminals move on to the arms of organized crime which allows it to commit more audacious crimes. Also the instruments developed by cybercriminals used for public and industrial espionage.
We aim at providing modern society with an understanding of high-tech crime that would make a proper risk estimation possible, give the ability to take the necessary measures to minimize it, provide with the choice of the methods of countermeasures, would allow adequate collaboration and improve the legislation around the world.
The other important thing is understanding of economics of those crimes. The main goal of crime is receiving illegal income and there is no surprise that market for high-tech crime on its turnover will soon be close to drug-dealing. Hi-Tech crimes cannot be touched and cybercriminals do not look negatively in the opinion of modern society.
Group-IB continuously conducts research and provides analytical information about the current status and changes not only cyber-threats but cybercrime as well. We hope that this report and other analytical information will be used in strategic planning and rapid response to current risks and security threats.
In this report we focus on high-tech crimes associated with traditional computer crime. However, as noted above, the methods used by traditional computer crime, instruments of commission of crimes and ensuring anonymity will be adopted by representatives of usual organized crime.

This document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted by AIIM regarding organizations' information governance policies and systems. The key findings include:
- Electronic records are rapidly increasing in most organizations while paper records are stabilizing. No organizations reported decreasing electronic records.
- Most organizations are not confident about what information is safe to delete or that they only store necessary information due to the large volumes of electronic content.
- There is interest in automated classification and metadata assignment to help manage electronic records and information at scale. However, the accuracy of current automated systems is still a concern for many organizations.

Abstract
Cyber-Terrorism: Finding a Common Starting Point
Attacks on computer systems for both criminal and political purposes are on the
rise in both the United States and around the world. Foreign terrorist organizations are
also developing information technology skills to advance their goals. Looking at the
convergence of these two phenomena, many prominent security experts in both
government and private industry have rung an alarm bell regarding the potential for acts
of cyber-terrorism. However, there is no precise definition of cyber-terrorism under
United States law or in practice among cyber-security academicians. The lack of a
common starting point is one of the reasons existing law fails to directly address cyber-
terrorism.
This paper furnishes a lexicon of cyber-related malicious activities and argues for a
common working definition of cyber-terrorism. This definition can be both incorporated
into current counter-terror legislation and used by government agencies to combat cyb ...
This document summarizes a research report by Cardiff University on the implications of economic cybercrime for policing. It discusses the challenges of defining and measuring economic cybercrime. It also examines key issues for policing related to innovation in cybercrime, cybercriminal offenders, and cyber defenses. The report explores the impacts of economic cybercrime on individuals and organizations and how policing can help combat these crimes through roles in protecting victims, preventing further crimes, and pursuing offenders while improving engagement. It concludes by considering questions and potential responses for addressing economic cybercrime.
This document provides an analysis of the legal and technological privacy implications of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. It was prepared by Dr. Teresa Scassa, Dr. Theodore Chiasson, Professor Michael Deturbide, and Anne Uteck for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. The document contains 5 parts that define RFID technology, explore its deployment, overview developments outside of Canada, examine industry standards and consumer advocacy, and apply Canadian privacy law to RFIDs.
The document is a summary report of Trustwave's security investigations in 2019. Some key findings include:
- Investigations involved thousands of compromises across 16 countries, with most in North America (33%) and Asia-Pacific (35%).
- The retail (24%) and financial (18%) industries were most affected. The majority of breaches involved corporate networks (54%) followed by e-commerce (22%) and cloud (20%).
- The median number of days to detect internally compromised incidents decreased to 2 days from 11 in 2018, while external detection time increased to 86 days from 55. Half of all breaches involved phishing/social engineering.
This document discusses the challenges healthcare organizations face in securing protected health information and complying with regulations in light of increased automation and electronic records adoption.

Regulating for a Digital Economy: Understanding the Importance of Cross-Borde...accacloud
Cross-border data access, usage, and exchange are essential to economic growth in the digital age. Every sector—including manufacturing, services, agriculture, and retail—relies on data and on the global flow of that data. Whether directly, or by indirectly taking advantage of global-scale data infrastructure such as cloud computing, global connectivity has enabled cross-border economic activity, allowing individuals, startups, and small businesses to participate in global markets. However, while the economic and trade opportunity from connectivity and data flows are significant, governments are increasingly introducing measures which restrict data flows—data localization measures.
This report reviews the various mechanisms by which governments are attempting to manage their digital economy. It covers the issues of data localization and data residency, clarifies cross-border data flow restrictions by developing a typology of data localization mechanisms like privacy, cybersecurity, law enforcement, digital protectionism, and levelling the playing field for businesses.
Sponsored by the Asia Cloud Computing Association, this report was independently researched and published by the Brookings Institution and TRPC Pte Ltd.

This document summarizes a report on electronic identification (e-ID) systems used internationally. It finds that while many countries have invested in national e-ID systems, Estonia has achieved the most widespread deployment and use. Estonia has issued over 1.2 million e-ID smartcards and seen over 52 million electronic signatures and 88 million authentication transactions. In contrast, the US does not have a national e-ID system. The report provides recommendations for the US based on lessons from early-adopting countries, including creating an implementation plan with stakeholder input, using government to increase supply and demand, ensuring accessibility, and designing the system for interoperability and the global digital economy.

For the following question(s): A school counselor tests the level of depression in fourth graders in a particular class of 20 students. The counselor wants to know whether the kind of students in this class differs from that of fourth graders in general at her school. On the test, a score of 10 indicates severe depression, while a score of 0 indicates no depression. From reports, she is able to find out about past testing. Fourth graders at her school usually score 5 on the scale, but the variation is not known. Her sample of 20 fifth graders has a mean depression score of 4.4. Use the .01 level of significance.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Stock Valuation A stock has an initial price of $100 per share.docx
1. 1. Stock Valuation: A stock has an initial price of $100 per
share, paid a dividend of $2.00 per share during the year, and
had an ending share price of $125. Compute the percentage total
return, capital gains yield, and dividend yield.
2. Total Return: You bought a share of 4% preferred stock for
$100 last year. The market price for your stock is now $120.
What was your total return for last year?
3. CAPM: A stock has a beta of 1.20, the expected market rate
of return is 12%, and a risk-free rate of 5 percent. What is the
expected rate of return of the stock?
4. WACC: The Corporation has a targeted capital structure of
80% common stock and 20% debt. The cost of equity is 12%
and the cost of debt is 7%. The tax rate is 30%. What is the
company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?
5. Flotation Costs: Medina Corp. has a debt-equity ratio of .75.
The company is considering a new plant that will cost $125
million to build. When the company issues new equity, it incurs
a flotation cost of 10%. The flotation cost on new debt is 4%.
What is the initial cost of the plant if the company raises all
equity externally?
(125 – 100) + 2.00 / 100 = .27 or 27%
(125-100) / 100 = .25 or 25%
2.00 / 100 = .02 or 2%
rF= 5%
Beta= 1.20
Expected market return= 12%
=5 + 1.20 (12 – 5) = 43.4%
2. Where:
Re = cost of equity = .12
Rd = cost of debt = .07
E = market value of the firm's equity = .80
D = market value of the firm's debt = .20
V = E + D = total market value of the firm’s financing (equity
and debt) = .80 + .20
E/V = percentage of financing that is equity = .80 / (.80+.20)
D/V = percentage of financing that is debt .20 / (.80+.20)
Tc = corporate tax rate = .30
WACC = (.80/1) * .12 + (.20/1) * 7 * (1 – .30) = .8 * .12 + .2 *
.07 * .7 = .0145 or 1.45

Securing and Evaluating
the Scene
Document, photograph, and secure digital evidence
at the scene as soon as possible.
When securing and evaluating the scene:
• Do not alter the state of an electronic device. If
a computer or an electronic device is off, leave
it off.
• Remove all unauthorized persons from the area
where evidence is to be collected.
• Identify, seizeand secure all electronic devices,
including personal or portable devices.
13. • Recognize potential digital evidence in
telephones,
digital video recorders, other household appliances
and motor vehicles.
7
If the computer is on or the power state cannot
be determined:
• Look and listen for indications that the
computer
is on — e.g., fans running, drives spinning and lit
light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
• If you cannot determine the power state of
the
computer, observe the monitor to determine if it
is on, off or in sleep mode.
• Check display screen for signsof data
destruction.
Lookout for words such as “delete,” “format,”
“remove,”“copy,” “move,” “cut” or “wipe.”
• Look for indications that the computer is
being
accessed remotely and/or signs of ongoing com-
munications with other computers or users — e.g.,
Instant Messaging (IM) windows or chat rooms.
• Take note of all cameras and determine
whether
14. they are active.
Proceed to page 12.

record the location they occupied when you entered
the scene. Obtain the following information from
interviewee(s):
• Purpose of computersand devices.
• All usersof the computersand devices.
• Type of Internet access and Internet service
provider.
• Computer and Internet user information —
e.g.,
login names, user account names and passwords,
and Instant Message screen names.
• E-mail and Web mail (Web-based e-mail)
accounts
and personal Web pages.
• Account information for online social
networking
15. Web sites — e.g., MySpace, Facebook.
• All security provisions, data access restrictions,
destructive devices or software in use.
• Any automatedapplications in use.
• Any otherrelevant information.

Documenting the Scene
Your documentation should include:
• The type, location, position, condition and power
status of the device.
• A record of all activity and processes visible
on the
display screen(s).
• A record of all physical connections to
and from
the computers and other devices.
• A record of any network and wireless
components
capable of linking devices to each other and the
Internet.
• The type, condition and power status of the
device’s Internet and network access.
16. • Video, photos, notes and sketches to assist
in
recreating/conveying the details of the scene.
Some computer systems and electronic devices —
and the information they contain — may be protected
under applicable laws, agency policies or other
02-Flip Book Text.indd 9 11/16/09 9:31:44 AM
10
factors, that may prohibit collection of these devices
or components. However, do include the location,
condition and power state of these devices in your
documentation.
Movement of a running computer or electronic
device may cause changes or damage to the com-
puter or device or the digital evidence it contains.
Computers and electronic devices should not be
moved until it is determined that they are powered
off.
11
Evidence Collection
Handling digital evidence correctly is essential to
preserving the integrity of the physical device as
well as the information or data it contains. Turning
off the power to a computer or other electronic
device may cause the information or data stored
17. on it to be damaged or lost.
If you are not trained in handling digital
evidence —
• Do not attempt to explore the contents of a
computer or other electronic device or to
recover information from it.
• Do not alter the state of a computer or other
electronic device.
• Do not pressany keys or click the mouse.
• If the computer or device is off, leave it
off.
• Do not move a computer or otherelectronic
device that is powered on.
12
• Do not accept offers of help or technical
assis-
tance from unauthorized persons.
• DO request technical assistance from personnel
with advanced equipment and training in digital
evidence collection. See http://www.ecpi-us.
org/Technicalresources.html for a list of available
resources.
Assess the Situation
18. Before seizing digital evidence, make sure you
have
the legal authority to do so. Improper access to
information or data stored on electronic devices
may violate provisions of federal laws.

option. If evidence of a crime is visible on the com-
puter display, however, request assistance from
personnel with experience in volatile data capture
and preservation (see http://www.ecpi-us.org/
Technicalresources.html).
24. Immediate disconnection of power is
recommended when —
• Information or activity on screen indicates
that
information or data is being deleted or overwritten.
• A destructive process appears to be in
progress
on the computer’s data storage device(s).
• The system is powered on in a typical
Microsoft
Windows® environment. Pulling the power supply
cord from the back of the computer will preserve
information about the last user account logged in,
login time, most recently used documents, most
recently used commands, and other valuable
information.

Immediate disconnection of power is NOT
recommended when —
• Information or data of apparent evidentiary
value is
in plain view onscreen. Seek assistance from per-
sonnel with advanced training in digital evidence
collection.
25. • Indications exist that any of the following are
active or in use: Chat room(s), text documents,
remote data storage, Instant Messaging (IM), child
pornography, contraband, financial documents,
data encryption and obvious illegal activities.
• The device is a mobile or smart phone.
Leave
mobile and smart phones in the power state in
which they were found.
Improper shutdown of mainframe computers, servers
or a group of networked computers may result in the
loss of data, loss of evidence and potential civil liability.
Secure the scene and request assistance from person-
nel with advanced training in digital evidence collection
of large or complex computer systems (see http://
www.ecpi-us.org/Technicalresources.html).

Packaging and Transporting
Digital Evidence
Packaging Procedures
• Ensure that all digital evidence collected is
prop-
erly documented, labeled, marked, photographed,
video recorded or sketched and inventoried.
Properly label connections and connected devices
to facilitate reassembly of the system later.
26. • Protect any latent, trace or biological evidence
con-
tained on the digital evidence. Photograph digital
evidence before conducting latent, trace or biological
evidence processes on the evidence.
• Pack all digital evidence in antistatic
packaging.
Plastic bags and containers can produce static
electricity and allow the development of humidity
and condensation that can damage or destroy
digital evidence.
• Package digital evidence in a manner that
will
prevent it from being bent, scratched or otherwise
deformed. Label all containersproperly.
22
• Leave phones in the power state in which
they
were found. Package phones in radio frequency-
shielding material to prevent them from accessing
communication signals.
• Collect all power supplies and adapters for all
electronic devices seized.
Transportation Procedures
• Keep digital evidence awayfrom magnetic fields,
27. e.g., those produced by radio transmitters, car
stereo speaker magnets and magnetic mount
emergency lights. Other transportation hazards
include heated seats and any device or material
that can produce static electricity, such as carpet.
• Do not keep digital evidence in a vehicle
for
extended periods. Heat, cold and humidity can
damage or destroy digital evidence.
• Ensure that computersand electronic devices are
packaged and secured during transportation to
prevent damage from shock and vibration.
• Document the transportation of the digital
evidence and maintain the chain of custody.
