Why Mobile Phone Forensics?
Mobile phones are increasingly becoming more and more technical. Nearly all mobile phones produced today have cameras built in to them. More memory is being added to mobile phones, which makes their storage capacity greater than ever.
What once was a job for a top international espionage agent, is now a simple feat for a mobile phone user. Taking discreet photo's, recording a private conversation, unauthorised videoing are now all within our grasp. For most of us, the usage of the camera on our mobile phones is simply to ensure that we can capture images and remember them. For some however, it is the perfect way to capture mission critical data, to steal a secret formula of a competitor, or simply to use in a blackmail situation.
