Forensic Technology in the new models of iPhone, BlackBerry and Android

Cellebrite, the leading provider of mobile forensic solutions, has today introduced advanced technology which can successfully extract deleted and existing or hidden data from iPhone 5, iOS 6, Android 4.1, and BlackBerry devices. This technological advance
means that police forces can obtain even more forensic data, as part of criminal investigations from the newest model Smartphone and platforms.

A forced alibi, the plotting of crimes and even GEO-location data stored on any phone can now be retrieved from the mobile’s memory and used as evidence in the court of law. The update makes Cellebrite the only vendor in the mobile forensics industry to
provide full extraction support for the three major Smartphone operating systems.

The enhanced support offered by Cellebrite includes:

The decoding of deleted BlackBerry Messenger messages and group chats full physical extraction of iOS 6 Data – software which was launched by Apple in September 2012 the extraction of all hidden and deleted data from devices running Samsung’s Jelly Bean
OS, as well as the bypass of pattern, PIN, or passcode locks on supported Android devices.

Cellebrite Co-CEO Ron Serber commented, "This new technology offers our mobile forensics customers the most thorough data extraction capabilities for the newest, most popular, and widest range of mobile devices. It enables investigators to continue to be
more flexible and responsive when investigating all types of crimes, and in turn makes the legal process much more efficient."

Cellebrite’s technology is used by a number of police forces and military departments in the UK and worldwide.  Cindy Murphy, a detective with the Madison (WI) Police Department in the US, said, "Sales of so many iPhones, and new shipments of Android devices
with the 4.1 OS, increase the likelihood that investigators will encounter these devices. The prevalence of this next generation Smartphone, with their rich variety of data, means that mobile forensics tools must be able to recover everything that can have
evidentiary value in our investigations.

"Cellebrite’s latest release gives us that capability and supports the most forensically sound process, so that we can make better cases no matter how criminals use Smartphone technology."
