Legal challenge to web child abuse inquiry
NewsOne of Britain's biggest online paedophile inquiries is to be challenged in the court of appeal amid allegations from campaigners that hundreds of men have been wrongly convicted in a mass miscarriage of justice.

Don't Let Legacy Media Foil Your Forensic Investigation
LinksWhen performing incident response and forensics on a compromised system, the focus of analysis is on the most immediately available and relevant sources of evidence.

UK members - Can you HACK it?
QuestionsForensic Focus is pleased to support The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), a charity which will be familiar to many UK members, especially those involved with child protection issues. The NSPCC's annual HACK (Hike Against Cruelty to Kids) is now in its fifth year and has so far raised over £250,000. After four successful years in the north this summer there are five 25 mile HACKS taking place in some of the most stunning locations across the UK: Yorkshire 5 September, Northern Ireland 5 September, Wales 12 September and Devon 27 September. And just in case you need any further motivation, there's a Forensic Focus T-Shirt for everyone who completes the hike - what more could you ask for?
