Galaxy Forensics | Providing Mobile Phone Forensics Assistance to Resolve Suspicions of Illicit Money Transactions

Mobile phone forensics is a field of 🔗digital forensics that collects, analyzes, and recovers data from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

It is used mainly for purposes such as criminal investigations, legal disputes, and corporate security investigations.

Like digital forensics, mobile phone forensics must be conducted lawfully in compliance with legal procedures, and an expert appraisal report for submission to judicial authorities is prepared and provided.

Through this, evidence can be secured by analyzing various types of information, such as contacts, text messages, call logs, memos, calendars, KakaoTalk conversations and attachments, media files, internet access records, emails, and app usage records.

The company argued that the client’s deleted text messages were highly suspicious.

The client countered that the messages were deleted simply because the storage space was full.

To substantiate the client’s account, Daeryun set out to recover the client’s deleted text messages.

Through Galaxy forensic analysis, the data was restored, but the content contained only work-related discussions and revealed no circumstances suggesting any exchange of money or valuables.

By conducting keyword searches of the recovered messages for words and expressions related to the exchange of money or valuables, Daeryun gathered evidence that no such references existed.

Daeryun set out to analyze the mobile banking app in order to respond to the allegation that the client had received money or goods.

It extracted the cache data of the bank app the client was using and recovered the financial transaction history for the relevant period.

It also fully restored deleted receipts and transfer records from the Galaxy gallery and memo apps and set out to review the financial activity.

As a result of this Galaxy forensic analysis, it was able to secure evidence that no suspicious deposit records existed.

An anonymous informant claims that the client met a counterparty's representative at a hotel lounge near the company and exchanged money and valuables.

Daeryun analyzed data such as GPS and movement routes to track and analyze the client's movements.

The GPS log analysis showed that on the date in question the client traveled only between the office and home, with no record of visiting the location claimed by the informant.

There was also no record of any call with the counterparty's representative during that time, so we argued that the content of the report lacked credibility.
