Joris Evers writes on C|Net News:
Cyberinvestigators are nearly drowning in the massive amounts of digital data seized from criminal suspects, a government official said Wednesday.More here.
As digital evidence increases in importance, authorities seize anything that can hold data. This includes computers, CDs, USB keys, MP3 players, cell phones and game consoles, Jim Christy, a director of the U.S. Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, said in a presentation at the Black Hat DC Briefings & Training event here.
UPDATE: 12:47 PST: William Jackson has some additional details on this same topic over on GCN.com. Basically, the field of digital forensics is rapidly evolving, and law enforcement is simultaneously being swamped in data in an effort to collaborate criminal and civil proceedings. It's a fascinating issue.
