Plaintiff and Defendant agreed to retain iDS as a forensic neutral. Anonymous harassing text messages had been received by Party A and Party B was suspected as being the sender.<\/h5>\nCounsel for both Plaintiff and Defendant needed specific answers to the following:

\n
    \n
  • Did any evidence exist to show the use of anonymizing text message platforms<\/li>\n
  • If so, did the use of the anonymous text messages show visual similarities to the received text messages (i.e., fonts, format, field names, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Was there any evidence to establish who specifically sent the anonymous text messages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    Our Forensic Team imaged multiple mobile devices and several laptop computers, allowing for analysis and reporting on the parties\u2019 digital interaction.<\/h5>\n

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

      \n
    • A \u201ctest\u201d anonymous text was located on the suspect device that contained personal identifiable information of the accused sender (i.e., information known only to the sender)<\/li>\n
    • Multiple fields within the \u201ctest\u201d text on the suspect device matched the actual text from the victim device<\/li>\n
    • Text messages were located on a Part C device that pre-dated the phone being setup, indicating that the messages had been restored after phone setup to overwrite pre-existing text messages<\/li>\n
    • Unallocated spaces on the suspect laptop had been \u201coverwritten\u201d by the copying of hundreds of GBs of movie files onto the laptop hard drive on the day of deposition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      iDS\u2019 Forensics Team was able to show counsel for Party A and Party B how each of their clients interacted with their devices. Additionally, we were able to show the traces of evidence that resulted as a result of those interactions.<\/h5>\n
