I can see where Google is coming from because I have similar thoughts about how mobile phones and SIM/USIM cards, as devices, are making significant inroads to provide functions and features traditionally provided by computers. This is another area that is forcing change on the work we do and why I believe we cannot afford to rest on any laurels we think we may have in our field of distinction and move as quickly as is reasonably practicable to do so to generate Certified/Validated tools.

Certified/Validated Mobile Phone Tools

Certified/Validated Mobile Phone Tools

.
A Poll running over on ForensicFocus (www.forensicfocus.com) concerns mobile phone tools used for examination that have not been Certified/Validated as forensically sound for the purpose to which they have and are currently being put to use to generate evidence. The Poll questions are:

.

All Mobile Phone Forensic Tools should be Certified/Validated?
--> I strongly agree all new and existing tools should be Certified/Validated
--> I strongly agree that only new tools should be Certified/Validated
--> I agree such a scheme could be useful but not a necessity
--> I disagree as such a scheme would affect sales/profits or my job skills
--> Who cares, we've been getting away with it so far
