MSI Detective Services provides cell phone data extraction, forensic review and spyware inspections for clients in Chicago and the surrounding area. Our technicians use Oxygen Forensic software and assess the available options for your device and your investigation.
What a phone examination can help with
- Reviewing available messages, contacts, call records and other device data.
- Attempting recovery of deleted information when the device and extraction method support it.
- Examining available evidence of unauthorized apps, tracking software, rooting or jailbreaking.
- Preparing findings and reports within the agreed scope of the examination.
What can be recovered?
Results depend on the phone model, operating system, encryption, device condition, access credentials and the data that remains available. An extraction cannot guarantee recovery of all deleted messages or all device information. We discuss these limitations before you authorize the work.
Can an inspection rule out all spyware?
No examination can guarantee detection or removal of every threat. Tell us about your concerns and any suspected targeted spyware, including Pegasus, so we can discuss whether an appropriate examination is available. A clean result means no evidence was identified within the examination’s scope; it does not prove that every possible threat is absent.
Before bringing your phone
Call us before changing, resetting or installing software on the device. We will discuss the device, your authority to have it examined, available access credentials and how to preserve relevant evidence. Do not send passwords or sensitive case details through the contact form.
Timing and pricing
Call (773) 404-7400 for current pricing and an appointment. Device access and the scope of the work affect turnaround time. We will discuss when you can expect your phone and report to be ready.
