“What’s Left Behind When you Search the Internet”
•
Jonathan Lyon, Private Investigator, Chicago, IL
Course Description: When you turn on your computer, they know where you were and what you did: understand how the simple use of a computer, or cell phone, creates a comprehensive and easily obtained digital biography.
When you simply log n, save a file, surf the Internet, use Social Networking, tweet or dare to use Google, you leave a digital biography behind which is easy to find. Then there are smartphones: leaving behind enough information to make any investigator jump for joy. It is frightening, the detailed digital information we and our clients leave behind for law enforcement to obtain. At the same time we need to understand what our co-defendants and witnesses are leaving out there. A truly amazing talk which will leave you in awe and better prepared to deal with the brave new world of technology.
