In a scenario where an iPhone was used in a criminal act what should be the first thing law enforcement do before a cyber forensics team arrives on the scene?
Access the phone for information.
Do not touch the phone. Preserve the scene so that important volatile information might not be lost.
Call the phones manufacturer and demand instructions on how to hack into the phone.
Reset the phone so that the forensics team can start from scratch
In any situation where a cyber device has aided in criminal activity, it is important that non-technical first responders preserve the scene and refrain from touching this equipment. Volatile resident information may be lost, or the phone may be wiped before the forensics team arrives. At most place the phone in a faraday bag to prevent remote wiping. Beyond that, let the pros do their job.
Note: Depending on the crime in question, it may be necessary for the phone to be dusted for fingerprints, or other physical forensic artifacts. Endeavor to process the phone forensically as needed for the investigation based on resources and time constraints.
