#CBI gets new forensic lab to crack Apple, Linux devices

CBI today got a new specialised forensic lab to decipher and recover data from Apple devices seized from suspects during investigation of cases.

The new lab, inaugurated at the CBI academy in Ghaziabad, will be fully equipped with latest workstations and software to decode the digital information stored in Apple devices, CBI sources said.

They said so far the agency had limitations in deciphering Apple and Linux-based devices, which are becoming extremely popular nowadays, with the training of forensic experts emphasising on Windows-based software.
