Here is a brief summary of a criminal investigation that involved digital forensics:

In 2013, the FBI investigated a cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment. The attackers stole terabytes of data, including personal information about employees, unreleased movies, and financial documents. The FBI used digital forensics to analyze the stolen data and identify the attackers. The attackers were eventually traced to North Korea, and the United States government imposed sanctions on the country in retaliation.

Here are some of the digital evidence that was used in the investigation:

• Emails between the attackers
• Chat logs from the attackers’ online forums
• IP addresses of the attackers’ computers
• Malware used by the attackers
• Metadata from the stolen data

The digital evidence was used to build a case against the attackers, and they were eventually convicted of cybercrimes. This case demonstrates the importance of digital forensics in investigating and prosecuting cybercrime.

For your final project, you could choose one of these topics or come up with your own. You would need to conduct research on the topic, gather digital evidence, and analyze the evidence to answer your research questions. You would also need to write a report that summarizes your findings and conclusions.
