Search Warrant Templates: Social Media and Applications
暫譯: 社交媒體與應用程式搜索令狀範本

Is the suspect’s phone locked or password protected?  Did the forensic tool get everything or did it miss an important piece of evidence or intelligence?  Is the suspect still out on the street or a fugitive?

The average cell phone user has between 25-44 applications on their device.  These applications can collect and store massive amounts of information.  This information is not always recovered by forensic tools and is often missed by investigators.  Some of the available information from applications includes:

• Personally Identifiable Information-Names, email addresses, phone numbers, demographic information, physical addresses, biographical information, and profile pictures.
• Device Information-Make, model, operating system, unique device identifiers, and operating system identifiers (Apple and Google)
• Content-Call records, contact lists and electronic phonebooks, email, text, or instant messages, pictures, videos, and EXIF/metadata
• Linked Social Media Accounts-Facebook, Microsoft, Google+, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Foursquare
• Log File Information-Cross platform applications and devices, date and time of access, and Internet Protocol addresses
• Financial-Method and source of payment, credit card numbers, issuing financial institutions, and third-party payment processors such as PayPal.
• Geolocation Data-Historical location information from GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers.
