Messenger
- Skype (chats, calls, SMS via database)
Coverage for any single matter depends on what counsel authorizes and what the estate actually contains. Skype messenger support covers chats, calls, and SMS via database when those sources are in scope. Examinations run on litigation-approved forensic platforms; VE Forensics is the service operator.
