Taken from "90s #rave scene" group on FB - and this is why, as much as I had fun then, I don't want to go back to those days *that* much - too many folk preyed on one another, robbing #car stereos, alloy wheels (and sometimes whole entire vehicles!) to fund their own partying (on the same group some *middle aged man* is unrepentantly admitting to having committed such thefts!).

Also outside of London and similar cities there was a lot of #CarDependency and #DUI was rampant - the only reason the casualty count wasn't noticed is the roads in 1990s were less safe (even with fewer #cars around) so the consequences of drug driving were masked by a heavy level of "normal" #collisions (and less #forensic investigation into the cause of #crashes)

Isn't deleting #evidence #criminal?

"Within about three minutes of the crash, the #ModelS uploaded a “collision snapshot”—video, CAN‑bus streams, EDR data, etc.—to Tesla’s servers, the #Mothership, and received an acknowledgement. The vehicle then deleted its local copy, resulting in Tesla being the only entity having access."

In search of riches, #hackers plant 4G-enabled #RaspberryPi in bank network

The researchers with security firm Group-IB said the “unprecedented tactic allowed the attackers to bypass perimeter defenses entirely.” The hackers combined the physical #intrusion with remote access #malware that used another novel technique to conceal itself, even from sophisticated #forensic tools.

consider though that in most countries, the #Police can already get a lot of verifiable data from a #vehicle they have already stopped in the street or seized and taken to their garage for #forensic investigation - even if its registration mark is false, its unlikely its #VIN would have been altered throughout (including where it is stored in #ECU and other electronic modules) - and RPU (Roads Policing Unit) officers tend to be car enthusiasts anyway - so a service like this would only be useful for pre-emptive surveillance (such as monitoring vehicles at a car meet or other such gathering from a distance)

Those #forensic #digital #records are important for record-keeping requirements & allow for troubleshooting, but they also allow experts to investigate potential breaches, sometimes even tracing the attacker's path back to the vulnerability that let them inside a network. The records can also help experts see what #data might have been removed. Basic logs would likely not be enough to demonstrate the extent of a bad actor's activities, but it would be a start.

Since it seems to be the thing to do....
Hi #MedMastodon! I'm a FP working at the Cook County MEO in #Chicago. I'm the associate program director of our fellowship program.
I'm also a mom of two toddlers and cannot wait until I can find the time to get back to working out and riding my bike.
I'm also a gaming nerd. Video, board, or role-playing, I run the gamut.
Also now on Bluesky, trying to find where my #forensic peeps will settle.
