Independent forensic science laboratory has successfully used
Magnet AXIOM to investigate more than 300 cases involving critical
digital evidence
Magnet Forensics (TSX: MAGT), a developer of digital
investigation solutions used by more than 4,000 enterprises and
public safety organizations in over 100 countries, today announced
that Truth Labs, India’s first independent forensic science
laboratory, is leveraging Magnet AXIOM to pursue justice against
criminals involved in human trafficking, crimes against children,
atrocities against scheduled castes and tribes and fraud.
“Magnet Forensics has been a tremendous partner in our quest to
bring swift justice to criminals who exploit innocent victims,”
said Anupama Kilaru, director, digital forensics division, Truth
Labs. “Magnet AXIOM has been an invaluable addition to our
investigative toolkit due to the breadth and depth of analytics it
covers in computer, mobile and cloud acquisitions. Its analytical
tools allow us to recover critical evidence faster and trace the
events that occurred during a crime while presenting our cases to
the court or prosecuting authority.”
Comprised of veteran forensic scientists who served government
laboratories and reputed officers who retired from police and the
judiciary, Truth Labs is a non-profit forensic laboratory providing
services to police, courts, enterprises and individuals who
otherwise could not access them. Founded by Dr. Gandhi P.C. Kaza,
the former director of Andhra Pradesh Forensic Labs and current
advisor to various state governments in India, the organization has
been operating for 15 years. Since 2019, Truth Labs has used Magnet
AXIOM, a digital forensics platform for recovering, analyzing and
reporting on digital evidence from mobile phones, computers, IoT
devices and the cloud, in more than 300 cases.
“Truth Labs plays a fundamental role in India’s justice system
by helping police agencies overburdened by digital evidence
complete their digital investigations, bring timely justice to
perpetrators and exonerate the innocent,” said Jad Saliba, founder
and chief technology officer at Magnet Forensics. “Magnet AXIOM is
helping digital investigators like those at Truth Labs make daily
break throughs in their cases by recovering and analyzing critical
digital evidence, including deleted and hidden data, and quickly
getting it into the hands of investigating officers.”
Magnet AXIOM immediately enhanced Truth Labs’ ability to make a
difference in digital investigations. In 2019, the Kolkata Police
outsourced a fraud investigation to Truth Labs. The suspects were
accused of impersonating Microsoft technical support workers during
phone calls to U.S. citizens in a bid to steal personal
information. Truth Labs used Magnet AXIOM to examine multiple
iPhones as well as Mac and Windows laptops belonging to the
suspects. Digital investigators recovered instruction documents
outlining how to speak with victims, how to react in certain
situations and how to remotely connect to victims’ computers to
steal personal information. They also recovered spreadsheets filled
with personal data, such as banking information and credit card
numbers, belonging to the victims.
In another recent case, Truth Labs used Magnet AXIOM to
investigate alleged child abuse for the Karnataka State Police. The
child and her parents filed a police report accusing a tenant in
their home of abuse. In one key piece of the investigation, the
suspect told police he never communicated virtually with the child.
Truth Labs, however, was able to use Magnet AXIOM to recover
deleted data demonstrating the suspect had communicated with the
child through WhatsApp. The information was vital to the case
because it proved the suspect was lying and had attempted to cover
his tracks.
