  • XRY helps in solving a triple homicide

    “We worked on a very tragic case, but I’m happy to report we were able to make an arrest. XRY proved to be very valuable to our investigation. We used the digital intel obtained through the extraction to question the suspect on inconsistencies, and he ultimately confessed.

    I must say, I’ve worked with numerous companies throughout my law enforcement career and I’ve never had a company be more responsive than MSAB. I really respect that so many of your employees are former law enforcement or have a familiarity with what we do and understand the challenges of making sure that the digital evidence must be admissible in Court.”

  • XRY recovers crucial mobile forensic evidence to secure a conviction

    When the former Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius admitted shooting his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, there was no need to prove who was responsible for her death. Instead, the question became whether the shooting was in self-defense, an accident, a crime of passion or a premeditated action.

    The XRY data recovery software retrieved the deleted WhatsApp messages from the phone of a scared Reeva Steenkamp and helped seal the conviction.

FAQ

Mobile data extraction means accessing and recovering data, such as apps and files. More specifically, MSAB specializes in extracting data from mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets. Data extraction is vital in many operations today since mobile devices are ubiquitous in our modern world. Extracting data from mobile devices can speed up investigations and offer results faster, yet still in a secure matter, with sound digital evidence. Mobile data extraction is critical in many fields but especially so in the military context. The world of military operations today is heavily focused on preventing and combating terrorism and serious criminality. Digital information extracted from phones, drones and vehicle information systems are critical sources of intelligence which can potentially save lives and achieve mission success on the battlefield.
Data extraction software are programs on either a mobile device or a computer that can assist investigators in accessing data on digital devices. XRY is a flagship data extraction and recovery software that runs on the Windows operating system. The XRY supports data recovery from an always increasing number of devices and app profiles and has formal support for the latest version of iOS.
Data can be extracted by using specific software, such as the XRY products. The data is extracted from digital devices either directly from the device memory, or by communicating with the operating system. MSAB has developed and implemented the ability to do “selective extractions”, meaning that, for example, law enforcement agencies could extract only the data on a victim’s or witness’s cell phone that is relevant for a specific criminal investigation. This ensures the right to privacy and minimizes intrusion.
