"South Korea early this month announced its first digital evidence process guideline, which aims to identify standard procedures that can better help fight cyber crimes. Called Standard Digital Evidence Process Guideline, the study is the first in the country and was jointly released by the South Korean police and digital forensics society. Beyond worms and hacking attacks, cyber or computer-related crimes are extending into more serious crimes such as murder, rape and identity fraud. This has heightened the urgency to come up with standard digital evidence guidelines to help such investigations. Other leading nations including the United States and United Kingdom, have already established similar guidelines."
