What is digital forensic investigation?

Digital forensic investigation is the online equivalent of judicial evidence investigation. More and more criminal activity is taking place online, such as cyberbullying, hacking, or theft of intellectual property. But even in traditional crimes, evidence and clues are often found on a laptop or smartphone. A compromising email or fraudulent transaction can make a difference for your client. Collecting this evidence with respect for privacy is what digital forensic investigation is all about.
