Incident Response Identify Social Networking, chat clients (twitter and others) web based email, file storage space, etc identify and issue preservation order **************News http://www.star-telegram.com/local/story/1719591.html The Texas Department of Public Safety plans to reduce its "unacceptable" backlog of computer examinations that are crucial in child pornography investigations, agency Director Steven C. McCraw announced Wednesday. Currently, 45 examinations are pending at the crime lab, and about half of those involve possible child pornography, according to DPS. Each examination takes 30 days to several months, depending on the caseâs complexity. The agency has not set goals on how quickly it hopes to complete examinations because each is different, said Tom Vinger, a DPS spokesman. Some agencies are actually outsourcing some of their forensic work which i think can be a good thing. www.google.com/dashboard **************Tech Topics File Saving saving process.
