Digital Forensic Examiner’s Assisting in Case of Identity and Mail Theft

January 19, 2021

The Turlock Journal recently reported on the arrests of three individuals by the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department stemming from a search warrant issued for a residence and vehicle in Waterford California.

The search recovered “a large amount of stolen mail” along with a loaded handgun, illegal drugs and digital forensic evidence that the sheriff’s department believes may point to an ongoing identity theft scheme. The parties arrested were Rebecca Reagan, Ryan Swindle and Brittany Dickerson. Reagan and Swindle appear to be the focus of the mail theft charges. Investigators from the United States Postal Service are working with the Sheriff’s office as they sort through the stolen mail which was apparently taken from communal mailboxes, like those found outside of many apartment buildings, in multiple jurisdictions in the area. Digital forensic investigators are tasked with reviewing the electronic devices and other digital evidence recovered from the residence in an attempt to identify those whose personal information may have been exposed by the theft.

Ride The Lightning (RTL) Blog Featured In E-Discovery Today

January 19, 2021

A recent blog post by Doug Austin of E-discovery Today entitled “ This May Be the Hack of All Hacks: Cybersecurity Trends”, featured Sensei’s Sharon Nelson’s Ride the Lightning blog.

Excerpt:

In the movie Men in Black, Rosenburg, a dying Arquilian, tells Jay that the “Arquilian Galaxy is on Orion’s Belt”.  This Orion may have led a galaxy’s worth of organization hacks – more than 425 of the Fortune 500 list of top companies; all of the top 10 telecommunications companies; all five branches of the military; and all of the top five accounting firms as part of 300,000 global customers potentially impacted, which also include UK government agencies and private sector companies.

As Sharon Nelson reports in her excellent blog Ride the Lightning, the United States Department of Commerce, Treasury, State Department, National Institutes of Health, Homeland Security, and the Pentagon are all included in the list of organizations that have had their networks compromised.

The unwitting source seems to be enterprise monitoring software company SolarWinds.  According to the Austin, TX based company, hackers “inserted a vulnerability within its Orion monitoring products which, if present and activated, could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the server on which the Orion products run.”

Vehicle Data Synched from Phone Helps Bring Closure to Family in Murder Case

January 14, 2021

Ronald French’s body was recovered from a cornfield in Michigan during the summer of 2017. He had gone missing three weeks prior. His body had extensive damage which led the medical examiner to conclude that he was murdered. French’s murder was investigated for more than two years without any arrests being made. That was until one of the detectives assigned to the case learned about the emerging field of vehicle forensics, NBC News reports.

Vehicle forensics involves the study of data stored and transmitted onboard cars, especially newer ones. In recent years, investigators have turned to this type of examination for the potential “treasure trove” of evidence this data can provide. It is often possible to determine a vehicle’s location at a certain date and time, which doors were opened, and texts and calls that were made while the cellphone registered to the car was connected.

Armed with this emerging analysis practice, detectives performed an examination on French’s 2016 black Chevy Silverado pickup truck. Time-stamped voice recordings were located within the onboard computer that showed a voice other than French’s giving a hands-free command to the vehicle to play music right around the time of French’s murder. The voice was analyzed and was determined to belong to Joshua Wessel, an associate of French’s.

Wessel has since been arrested and is charged with the murder of French. Wessel has pleaded not guilty and awaits an upcoming trial.

In a digital world, it is important to take into account the various mediums that can assist in a digital forensic investigations. Newer sources of data including vehicles, voice assistants, and smart devices may assist where traditional investigation techniques hit dead ends.

Clio’s Legal Trends Report 2020: A Look Into the Future of Law

 Clio COO George Psiharis talks through this year’s trends and the sweeping transformative effect COVID-19 has had on the legal profession.

The legal world has made more forward progress since the start of the pandemic than many expected it could do in a decade. Lawyers formerly resistant to technology suddenly found themselves with no choice but to adapt and embrace digital-friendly legal practice. For a closer look at how these changes are playing out in the profession, Sharon Nelson and John Simek talk with George Psiharis about Clio’s 2020 Legal Trends Report. They discuss who is weathering pandemic-era shifts most effectively, the mass movement to cloud-based services, the importance of focusing on customer experience, and which COVID-era changes will likely carry on beyond the pandemic.

George Psiharis is chief operating officer at Clio.

Special thanks to our sponsor PInow.
