Forensic verification of social media profiles – Forensically verifying the authenticity and consistency of social media profiles
In the context of existing cases, it may be relevant to verify the authenticity and consistency of a publicly accessible social media profile, for example in connection with an ongoing digital dispute.
In doing so, we check profile details, creation dates, activity patterns and cross-references to other publicly available sources for consistency.

Typical areas of application
This is how social media profile verification works
Publicly available profile details, information on how the profile was created and activity patterns are systematically recorded and cross-referenced with other information already available in connection with the case.
Why is social media profile verification relevant in a forensic context?
Determining whether a profile is genuine can be of crucial importance when assessing digital evidence based on it.
Careful verification also helps to prevent fake or manipulated profiles from being mistakenly used as evidence.
