What happens when massive volumes of sensitive data enter the public conversation?

In this episode of iDS Talks, Bobby Williams and Drew O’Shaughnessy break down the eDiscovery and digital forensics questions surrounding the Epstein files. The focus isn’t speculation. It’s the data.

They discuss:

• Why every investigation should treat data as if litigation is inevitable
• The importance of chain of custody and documentation from the start
• What investigators look for when determining best evidence vs. derivative files
• How metadata, file structure, and formatting can reveal red flags or contradictions
• Why asking the right questions about who collected the data, how, and when matters more than people think
