Challenges:
Analyze data from 32 PCs using traditional methods
would have been a time-consuming and complex
process for the digital forensic experts. It would have
required taking apart each computer, attaching a
hard drive to a write blocker, and copying data bit
by bit. Moreover, not all 32 PCs were guaranteed to

analyze process even more time-consuming.

Additionally, data integrity was a significant concern.

investigative techniques alone.

Result:
Pelorus’s use of digital forensics tools proved essential
in quickly and efficiently solving the messaging fraud
case. Their ability to image all 32 PCs in one day
using ADF tools and analyze the data resulted in the
identification and apprehension of the criminal. This
case demonstrates how Pelorus’s expertise in digital
