information protection fallacy
This analyst report discusses the now widely used fallacy that the
attacker only has to be right once. In fact, this was given as an
example in 3 out of 5 talks I saw in the last few weeks, and it's time

whenever blackberries fail.
Digital Forensic Evidence Examination - 2nd edition will soon be
