What do the statistics say?
As the world is embracing novel concepts like using cryptocurrencies to pay for goods and services and operating inside a digital 3D metaverse world, criminals are taking notice. Indeed, the digital space is full of threats and pitfalls, and the numbers don’t lie.
Did you know that:
1. There were over 500 million attempted ransomware attacks in 2021? (source: Msspalert)
Ransomware is a type of computer virus that encrypts the files on the victim’s computer and demands a ransom in return for the decryption key. The problem is, you’re not guaranteed to receive the key even if you pay up, so your files may be lost forever.
2. Crypto scammers stole a whopping $14bn in 2021? (source: CNBC)
By hacking crypto wallets, exchange platforms, or otherwise tricking unsuspecting victims into sending over their crypto funds, hackers can net a small fortune. Worse yet, since cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible by design, these funds are next to impossible to recover.
3. Each year, 15 million American citizens experience some form of identity theft? (source: Fortunly)
If criminals manage to get their hands on your personal information, they can impersonate you to gain unauthorized access to one of your accounts and do other stuff in your name. Whether harvested through hacking or the art of social engineering, an impersonator can put a black mark on your good name.
4. Through 2020, in every 4200 emails on average was sent as part of a phishing campaign. (source: Tessian)
Phishing is the art of impersonating a legitimate-looking website that is, in reality, designed to harvest the victim’s login credentials. The hackers often resort to using a voice of authority by pretending to be your administrator or supervisor and cite some form of urgency to trick you into entering your sensitive information.
5. You can buy a stolen credit card number on the dark web for as little as $9? (source: Techjury)
Dark web marketplaces are a place where criminals buy and sell sensitive stolen information such as document scans, stolen credit card numbers, login credentials, and more. Later on, these can be used as part of large-scale crime.
These worrisome facts and statistics need no further explanation and are very much relevant to how digital forensics cases should be approached. Worse yet, they are on an upwards trend and increasing in severity. All of this begs the vital question: how do we go about the digital forensics in the modern era to fully utilize the capacity of modern technology and improve the effectiveness and accuracy of our investigative work?
Crime never sleeps
As you can see, crime never sleeps and is an unfortunate part of our day-to-day existence. But thanks to digital forensics, it’s possible to unmask criminals by analyzing digital footage and uncovering valuable clues that point to their whereabouts and identity. In fact, surveillance videos, mobile phones, computers, databases, etc., all contain a wealth of vital information that can be of great use when attempting to solve a case.
However, since there is so much data stored on the myriad of smart devices that people use on a daily basis, it’s next to impossible to process it one by one without introducing significant delays to the investigation. Hence, utilizing smart automation offered by digital forensic solutions is the only way to stay on top of things, with the help of modern digital forensic equipment that wields the power of AI, taking on big data like this is no longer an insurmountable challenge.
– Hit and run crimes

Many times, would-be criminals do not realize they are being recorded by CCTV cameras and other means.In video forensics, by analyzing the recorded footage, it’s possible to obtain a license plate number and trace the owner and even determine someone’s identity by analyzing their facial structure and running it against the database.
– Sex offenses
Possessing or even downloading adult movies involving minors is a punishable offense. If the local authorities suspect someone has committed this type of crime, they will attempt to unmask the real identity of the culprit by tracking down their IP address. If successful, a home raid may follow to secure the evidence of the crime.
– Threats, stalking and harassment

Those who make threats, stalk, or harass others through digital means will often attempt to hide their tracks by masking their IP and deleting any incriminating evidence on their device. But unless they know how to shred these files, a skilled digital forensic investigator can recover the data from their hard drive.
