Forensic Analysis of the Stolen VA Database

An anonymous reader writes "As you have probably heard, the FBI has recovered the stolen Veteran's Administration laptop. The FBI even said "A preliminary review of the equipment by computer forensic teams determined that the database remains intact and has not been accessed since it was stolen." This article looks at what the FBI forensic lab is doing to determine the sensitive information hasn't been accessed and how the thieves might have covered their tracks — thereby rendering the forensic results useless."
