Microsoft have developed a new technology that can rapidly extract forensic data from laptops, phones, cameras and other electronical devices. Great for helping border control agents in identifying incriminating material – and hopefully preventing the need for them and other law enforcement agencies to seize innocent computers!
The technology is called COFEE (Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor), and is software built into a USB drive. Although it’s only just coming to light, it has been in use since last June, having been distributed to 350 different law enforcement agencies. Microsoft have said that they developed the device after an attack of conscience, and not as a way of making even more money.
