Working on more research and ran across this information on the case related to where I live. I don't get how it took weeks for the school to report her missing. I've gotten notices of legal action from the school for my kids missing < 15 days.

Madalina Cojocari remains missing, and her disappearance is an unsolved active case. Here is where the investigation stands:Last Confirmed Sighting: She was last seen getting off her school bus in Cornelius, North Carolina, on November 21, 2022. Delayed Reporting: Her mother, Diana Cojocari, and stepfather, Christopher Palmiter, did not report her missing until December 15, 2022—more than three weeks after she vanished—and only after the school repeatedly inquired about her absence. Legal Outcomes: Both her mother and stepfather were arrested and ultimately convicted in 2024 for failure to report the disappearance of a child to law enforcement. Neither has been charged directly with her kidnapping or murder, as investigators still have not found Madalina or conclusive evidence explaining what happened to her. Current Status: Law enforcement agencies, including the Cornelius Police Department, the SBI, and the FBI, continue to treat her disappearance as an active missing persons case. The forensic digital footprint—such as the cessation of activity on her school-issued Chromebook—remains one of the key pieces of evidence authorities used to narrow down when she actually disappeared, despite the false timelines provided by the parents.

@brettshavers.bsky.social is this statement true: "Digital forensics does not lie." I do find that statement funny, because how data is interpreted really tells the whole story and people can interpret things in different ways.

Trying to find a case involving Xbox forensics. Here's a summary (generated by #ai from my prompts). I just can't recall where I read about it. :( #dfir #research

Ai summary: Looking for a true crime case where a possessive, all-day Xbox gamer murdered his wife/girlfriend indoors at or near her workplace. To stage an alibi, he broke his habit of frantically calling her 20+ times a day and only made 1–2 calm "check-in" calls, but cell data showed he was carrying her phone. His gaming alibi collapsed when Microsoft logs proved his Xbox sat idle on the dashboard with zero inputs and was connected to a different IP network than his home.

Any type of radiation or fluctuations can be used by two systems (or people) to communication. All you need is the encoding (and/or encryption) being used. Systems with malware have been shown to do this time and time again. #cybersecurity #airgapped

Two air-gapped computers can communicate via CPU temperature regulation only if both are pre-infected with malware, placed within 40 cm, at 1-8 bits per hour as shown in 2015 research.

Parents are allegedly taking their kids to see ‘BUDDY’ without realizing the cute orange unicorn movie is an R-rated horror film.

Some are reportedly storming out and demanding refunds.

People have been confirming this. Some ppl are incredibly stupid. Don't be these ppl ... #defcon

From Twitter post:

The Official Delta Diamond Medallion G / Mary Perrault 27m
Breaking news.
A wild scene just unfolded at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) after Delta Flight 591 landed from Las Vegas. A group of passengers returning from the DEF CON cybersecurity convention allegedly used a portable network hacking tool (like a Wi-Fi Pineapple) to launch a mid-air "de-authentication" attack. They successfully jammed the plane's official in-flight Wi-Fi, kicking everyone offline, and broadcasted a malicious clone network named "Delta WiFi Fast." The fake hotspot served up a phishing landing page designed to harvest passengers' personal credentials and Google login data, prompting the captain to send an emergency ACARS alert to the ground. Upon docking at Gate A18, federal authorities and airport police immediately boarded the aircraft to hold the cabin, question the suspects, and seize the broadcasting hardware.

I would have probably written 6/(2(2+2)) on the computer but as a fraction ⁶⁄₂₍₁₊₂₎ which are easy to read. What makes this silly/stupid is how ppl double done on a concept that is more then a string of words. /3

Jesse Spangenberger @digitalforensics.io · 03/08/2026

Most people and the way Math is written would consider 2(1+2) as a single term. If you wanted to express, it differently, but nearly as bad: 6 ÷ 2 x (1+2) or 6 ÷ 2 ⋅ (1+2). More explicitly -- but overly verbose.: 6 ÷ (2(1+2)). /2

Jesse Spangenberger @digitalforensics.io · 03/08/2026

The author points out the bad notions but sticks by the "9" answer. However, if you were to write: 6 ÷ 2x ... no one would think you would do 6 divided by 2 then multiple by 2. I hate these "gotcha" #math questions. /1
