Digital Forensics Blows Hole in Defense: Jessica Hyde Testifies in Karen Read Trial Digital forensic analyst Jessica Hyde took the stand on May 7, 2025, delivering one of the most consequential testimonies yet in the Karen Read murder trial. At the heart of her appearance was the now infamous Google search: “hos long to die in cold.” The defense has long maintained that this search, allegedly made by Jennifer McCabe, occurred at 2:27 a.m.—before John O'Keefe's body was found—implying possible prior knowledge of his death. But Hyde's expert analysis directly contradicted that narrative. Hyde explained to the jury that the 2:27 a.m. timestamp cited by the defense doesn't reflect when the search was conducted, but instead when the tab was opened. The actual search occurred around 6:24 a.m., after Read and others had already found O'Keefe's body. This clarification was damning for the defense, undercutting claims that McCabe's internet history suggested foreknowledge of the crime. Hyde's testimony also served as a broader reminder of how digital timelines can be misunderstood or even weaponized in high-stakes cases. She walked the jury through browser metadata and explained how forensic software parses search logs—often surfacing details far more nuanced than they appear on the surface. For a case so dependent on technology, timing, and perception, Hyde's analysis could very well shift jurors' understanding of who knew what—and when. If you're following the Karen Read case closely, this is one expert breakdown you don't want to miss.

Send us a textThe digital forensics world isn't slowing down — and neither are we. In this episode, we celebrate Heather's well-deserved recognition as Cellebrite's Mentor of the Year 2025. Naturally, there were a few speech mishaps and, somehow, a bear raiding Heather's bird feeder (yes, actual wildlife). But between the chaos, we get serious about the fast-changing landscape of digital evidence collection.We dig into Amazon's decision to remove the "do not send voice recordings" setting from Echo devices — meaning all voice requests now head straight to the cloud for AI training. It's part of a growing industry trend, raising huge privacy red flags. We also unpack a study showing AI search engines misattribute sources at rates over 60%, and discuss how leaning too hard on generative AI risks dulling the critical thinking that digital forensics demands.On the technical front, Christian Peter reveals that some forensic tools alter or delete unified logs during extraction — a serious concern for evidence integrity that can compromise investigations before they even begin. We also walk through a deep dive into Snapchat artifacts, showing how to connect media files to user actions and locations by following database breadcrumbs that automated tools tend to overlook.Through it all, one theme stays clear: while technology keeps racing ahead, the responsibility for getting it right stays firmly with the examiner. As one guest bluntly put it, "We might be the last generation of cognitive thinkers."Tune in for a sharp, insightful, and slightly unpredictable conversation at the intersection of bears, bytes, and the future of digital evidence.Notes:Mobile Forensics Are you nerd enough?https://www.msab.com/events-webinars/webinar-are-you-nerd-enough/New Podcasts!https://osintcocktail.com/https://www.youtube.com/@hexordiaAmazon "Do Not Send Voice Recordings" Privacy Featurehttps://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2025/03/17/amazon-echo-alexa-reporting-privacy/82503576007/https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/33907850/amazon-alexa-echo-do-not-send-voice-recordingsAI search engines cite incorrect news sources at an alarming 60% rate, study sayshttps://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/ai-search-engines-give-incorrect-answers-at-an-alarming-60-rate-study-says/The Slow Collapse of Critical Thinking in OSINT due to AIhttps://www.dutchosintguy.com/post/the-slow-collapse-of-critical-thinking-in-osint-due-to-aiNISThttps://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2025/01/updated-guidelines-managing-misuse-risk-dual-use-foundation-modelsDon't lose your logbookhttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dont-lose-your-logbook-christian-peter-ebcjeNot All Encryption is created equalhttps://www.s-rminform.com/latest-thinking/cracking-the-vault-exposing-the-weaknesses-of-encrypted-apps

According to Cyber Ireland's 2024 Security Snapshot Report, the cybersecurity industry employs approximately 8,000 professionals in Ireland, an increase of 8% since 2022. The Sean Hennessy Bursary provides college financial aid, as well as the opportunity to participate in a nine-month internship with eSentire. The scholarship is named in honour of the late Sean Hennessy, a former eSentire team member who was instrumental in establishing and managing eSentire's Global SOC in Cork in 2015. Sean Hennessy passed away in 2016. This is the fourth year that the Sean Hennessy Bursary has been awarded to a MTU student. Impressively, the three previous recipients of the award are all currently employed with eSentire's Global SOC in Cork, Ireland. Each of them has reached various stages of eSentire's Career Development Program, which fosters and supports security analysts' growth through attainment of internal and external certifications, mentoring and progression. "I am delighted and honoured to have been selected as this year's recipient of the Sean Hennessy Bursary," said James Spillane, 2025 eSentire Sean Hennessy Bursary winner. "I would like to sincerely thank everyone at eSentire for this incredible opportunity to further explore the fascinating world of cybersecurity, which is a passion and interest of mine. I am also grateful to MTU for their support and guidance through my studies. Receiving this award is an honour and a fulfilling achievement, I want to thank everyone involved for this prestigious opportunity." eSentire has been protecting organisations from known and unknown cyber threats for 20+ years, providing complete attack surface coverage on premises and in the cloud. With 2000+ customers in 80+ countries, eSentire provides Exposure Management, Managed Detection and Response, and Digital Forensics and Incident Response services designed to build an organisation's cyber resilience and prevent business disruption. eSentire protects the world's most targeted organisations, with 65% of its global base recognised as critical infrastructure, vital to economic health and stability. eSentire operates the largest SOC in the Southwest region of Ireland, and as a global leader in providing award-winning cybersecurity solutions, eSentire has contributed to the broader development of the Cork region and its security analysts are highly trained experts on the frontlines of cybercrime.

The prosecution has asked for a hearing to determine whether or not Mr. Green, Karen Read's digital forensic expert, can testify. The defense argued that all forensic experts use the same methodology—they take the digital extraction, run it through different tools, and interpret the information. The defense also argued that the prosecution's efforts to prevent the expert from testifying are "dystopian" and "Orwellian." The defense asked the court to deny the motion and not have a Daubert Hearing.The prosecution's police expert, Trooper Guarino, ran Jen McCabe's phone through two different analyzer programs and one program indicated that the Google search was there, and that was not turned over to the defense in the initial report.It'll be interesting to see what happens Friday's hearing and we'll be paying attention to how many times Mr. Alessi says "Orwellian" and if the court brings up the ACCRA experts and the discovery issue.Watch the full coverage: https://youtube.com/live/7dNN7AE5mekThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy
