Forensic analysis of vehicle cloud account data – Forensic use of manufacturer-provided user accounts
Many vehicle manufacturers operate cloud platforms through which user accounts are linked to one or more vehicles and on which, amongst other things, vehicle status, location and usage data can be collated.
Access to this cloud data is granted only with the account holder’s authorisation or on the basis of a valid legal basis, and supplements the data available locally in the vehicle.
Why LanCologne?
Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
Subject to the relevant authorisation, we back up and analyse vehicle cloud account data and systematically synchronise it with data stored locally in the vehicle.
Typical areas of application
This is how a vehicle cloud account analysis works
Subject to the appropriate authorisation, available cloud account data is backed up, systematically analysed and synchronised with data stored locally in the vehicle or on connected mobile devices.
Why is vehicle cloud account analysis relevant from a forensic perspective?
Cloud data may still be available even if local vehicle data has already been overwritten, deleted or is no longer physically accessible.
Cross-referencing both data sources enhances the reliability of reconstructed events and can reveal discrepancies between local and cloud-based records.
