Digital forensics investigators play a major role in social sciences by applying their
methods to collect and analyze digital evidence. They are able to use their expertise to
discover the digital footprints left behind by hackers. These digital footprints can be
used to relate to other crimes and track down their behaviors and habits. This can then
be used to give to law enforcement so that crimes can be solved and those criminals
can be held accountable for their actions. I also think it’s very interesting that he kind of
fell into his role as a digital forensics investigator. He just applied to a job as someone
who just “liked computers” and came out of it working for a major finance company.
