Cyber CSI: the challenges of digital forensics

Author Richard Boddington PhD student in computer science at Murdoch University Forensics is a very different business when it comes to technology. Chris Isherwood/Flickr , CC BY-SA Forensics is changing in the digital age, and the legal system is still catching up when it comes to properly employing digital evidence.

We've told you how to back up your WhatsApp messages , how to share your location with others using WhatsApp, and how to block people and hide your "Last Seen" setting . So yes, we like WhatsApp and use it a lot. Maybe even a little too much. And it is from this perspective that we've going to go out on a limb and say, thanks but no thanks.
