A man caught in a child-grooming sting op asked for his brother in India to remotely wipe his Samsung phone before the FBI could search it, the Justice Department says.
While the DOJ account indicates Chugh may have been quick to ensure his Samsung was wiped before police had a chance to find any possible evidence inside, investigators could have done more to ensure outside tampering was impossible. “While the loss of evidence is regrettable, I would say that in this case law enforcement failed to take standard precautions with the device,” said cybersecurity analyst and former NSA staffer Jake Williams.
It is, however, possible to get some useful data from devices, including those made by Samsung, that have been factory reset. Peter Sommer, professor of digital forensics at the U.K.’s University of Birmingham, said it was dependent on the device.
