A state department site was recently attacked and all the servers had their disks erased. The incident response team sealed the area and commenced investigation. During evidence collection they came across a zip disks that did not have the standard labeling on it. The incident team ran the disk on an isolated system and found that the system disk was accidentally erased. They decided to call in the FBI for further investigation. Meanwhile, they short listed possible suspects including three summer interns.
Where did the incident team go wrong?
- They examined the actual evidence on an unrelated system
- They attempted to implicate personnel without proof
- They tampered with evidence by using it
- They called in the FBI without correlating with the ngerprint data
