The way data is stored on a device also has consequences for data retrieval. This video reveals some of them.

Criminals try to cover their tracks. Electronic evidence can be hidden in many ways. Here are just a few of them.

A look at how it is possible to remain anonymous on the Internet and use that anonymity to access the Dark Net.
