## [Ditto Field Kit dresses for digital investigation success](https://www.digistor.com/blog/new-ditto-field-kit-dresses-digital-investigation-success)

[![](https://www.digistor.com/hs-fs/file-2650994022-jpeg/blog-files/dittofirledkitl1.jpeg) ](https://www.digistor.com/blog/new-ditto-field-kit-dresses-digital-investigation-success)

Digital forensics investigators often ask us to create special field kits. Maybe they need a particular [WriteBlocker](http://www.cru-inc.com/products/wiebetech/?&family_name=DriveDocks&isForensic=Yes&product_line=WiebeTech), cables, and space for hard drives. Or they want to deploy consistent toolkits in the field. We respond by finding the right size Pelican case (or color, as it was with a US agency and our [orange field kit](http://www.cru-inc.com/products/wiebetech/forensic_field_kit_j/)), fashioning foam with custom cutouts, and including the right products for efficient digital investigation workflows.

## [Presentation Saved by Forensic UltraDock v5!](https://www.digistor.com/blog/presentation-saved-forensic-ultradock-v5)

Last week, I was at the [PhotoPlus show](http://www.photoplusexpo.com) where we always hear horror stories about data  
 loss (the guy whose internal hard drive died, causing him to try to revive it so he can get  
 his 10 years of data; someone else who is spending thousands of dollars to get client images  
 from a failed drive; one photographer telling another about the wedding photos he lost).  
 There's no shortage of accounts from those who learn the hard way about maintaining backup  
 discipline.

## [iHacked: Exposed in the Cloud](https://www.digistor.com/blog/ihacked-exposed-cloud)

The list of cloud breakins grows, with recent news of user accounts being breached in the ubiquitous Apple iCloud. As [FierceITSecurity puts it](http://www.fierceitsecurity.com/story/apples-icloud-breach-its-not-just-about-naked-photos/2014-09-02), this is not just about naked celebrity photos ([or naked anybody photos](http://valleywag.gawker.com/icloud-isnt-safe-because-everyones-a-target-and-apple-1629660564)). iCloud is used by pretty much anyone who owns an Apple iDevice, often without users knowing or thinking about it. To be sure, many of the photos and videos stored up in the Apple infrastructure are of [cats](http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/best-cat-pictures#8lwzrj) and [bad food photography](http://someoneatethis.tumblr.com), but the fact that our iPhone/etc backups are stored in the iCloud is something to think about.

## [US Supreme Court: Police need warrant to search cell phone](https://www.digistor.com/blog/us-supreme-court-police-need-warrant-search-cell-phone)

Today, in a unanimous ruling, the US Supreme Court stated that police  
 officers need a warrant to search cell phones and other devices in  
 possession of people they arrest. The ruling states that the vast amount  
 of data contained on today's phones are protected from routine  
 inspection; one of the points made by the ruling is that we must today  
 distinguish between a handwritten note, for example, and the large volumes  
 of data we routinely generate and store on hard drives and data centers in  
 the cloud.

## [Global Cost of Cybercrime at $445 Billion](https://www.digistor.com/blog/global-cost-cybercrime)

[![](https://www.digistor.com/hs-fs/file-2650991707-jpg/blog-files/ditto-demo-cta21.jpg) ](https://www.digistor.com/blog/global-cost-cybercrime)

A recent Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) [study](http://www.mcafee.com/us/resources/reports/rp-economic-impact-cybercrime.pdf) (commissioned by McAfee) estimates the annual cost to business from cybercrime at $445 billion. The direct and indirect costs come from loss of intellectual property, theft of financial assets and sensitive data, opportunity costs, costs to secure networks, and recovery from attacks.
