Did you know that alternative browsers pose challenge for cybersleuths because they store browser and profile-related data differently than MSIE?
The shock and horror!
If these so-called cybercops were at all sophisticated in the support and administration of computer systems, they’d know that finding “alternative” browser data is pretty darn easy. In fact I’d say that locating Mozilla browser data is by far easier than finding MSIE data. In addition, finding documentation on Mozilla and its file structure is pretty easy if you know how to use a search engine.
Well, I guess we all have yet another reason to switch from IE to another browser! Hooray!

I can tell you, as someone who worked in computer forensics and training that this is not what they are talking about — they are talking about how to use the evidence, not in finding it.
The forensic training done by many companies is AMAZING to say the least.
