Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mobile devices are unique in that they are constantly connected to wireless networks, which can lead to the device receiving new data. This can potentially alter the data present on the device, which is a concern unique to mobile forensics. Investigators must decide whether to allow the device to continue receiving data, which might be relevant to the case, or to prevent any new data from being received to preserve the current state of the device's data. Choices A, B, and D are standard practices in all digital forensics, not unique to mobile devices.
