| Computer crime investigations are facing a major upheaval as the shift towards a new type of hard drive technology allows criminals to cover their tracks and outsmart digital forensic specialists, Australian researchers have found.
The new drives found in many of the latest desktop and laptop computers make it virtually impossible to recover files that criminals have deleted, which forensic experts say will cause serious issues when it comes to presenting evidence in court.
Detective Inspector Bruce van der Graaf, head of the NSW Police computer crimes unit, conceded that with the new technology there would be some evidence that cannot be recovered but said there would always be other sources of evidence for police to draw on.
