Time Sensitive
For these reasons, internet evidence is time sensitive and should be
expeditiously retrieved and preserved. Also consider that when
investigating offenses involving the Internet, time, date and time
zone information may prove to be very important. Server and
computer clocks may not be accurate or set to the local time zone.
The investigator should seek other information to confirm the
accuracy of time and date stamps.
