If the phone is on and you are leaving it on,
you need to protect it from the network.
You need to make sure that remote wipes will not come
in and destroy your evidence.
You need to make sure that you acquire it quickly,
because you don't know how long it's
going to remain in a hot state before it turns cold.
You don't know what user settings are on that device
to say, if I have not unlocked my phone with my fingerprint
in one hour, make me enter my passcode.
Be very, very careful with this.
So if it's on, you are going to acquire it
as quickly as possible.
And that's why it says time's running out.
Time is of the essence.
Make sure you choose the proper acquisition steps
so you do not turn a hot device into a cold device.
When we talk about Android specifically and iOS
specifically, I'm going to walk you through key steps
to break down these two method options on how you're
going to acquire these devices, what could potentially
take a hot device go cold I want to make sure
that you are aware.
But if that device is on and it's hot,
it should become your priority.
You need to acquire that.
If you need to explain to people why, tell them if it turns off
or goes into a cold state, you could potentially never
be able to access that data.
