Our client wished to retrieve alleged harassing text messages from an ex-employee\u2019s iPhone. Certain text messages had been produced as screenshot PDFs, but did not appear to be actual threads exchanged between two or more parties. <\/h5>\n

Our client needed to obtain a forensic image of an ex-employee\u2019s iPhone to determine:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • What (if any) text messages had been exchanged between the ex-employee and a former supervisor<\/li>\n
  • Whether replies to certain text messages existed<\/li>\n
  • Whether the produced text messages could be authenticated as being sent\/received from the specific iPhone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n

    \n \n Solution <\/span>\n\n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    Through an agreed upon forensics protocol, our Forensics Team was able to create a forensic image of the ex-employee\u2019s iPhone.<\/h5>\n

    The iDS Forensics Team performed analysis and reported on the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The location of purported text messages and the deletion of same<\/li>\n
    • That the authentic text messages, to the extent they existed, had been selectively taken as a screenshot, saved to the phone\u2019s camera roll, and then complete text message exchanges purged<\/li>\n
    • That the iPhone was set to retain messages forever, and therefore the text messages did not \u201cauto\u201d delete themselves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      iDS was able to identify that the text messages in question were hand selected for production and were incomplete. <\/h5>\n

      Our client was able to leverage our findings to demonstrate that actual text messages had been purged post-filing of litigation and that they were incomplete. As a result, our client used the findings to achiever a favorable outcome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
