Microsoft Hands Cops a Crowbar for BitLocker

Microsoft has given law enforcement officials a new tool known as “Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor,” or COFEE, to aid in the pursuit of crimes involving computers. COFEE is a framework of customizable and common forensic tools for law enforcement. Microsoft made the announcement at this year’s Law Enforcement Technology conference. The three-day event, hosted by Microsoft, draws together some 400 law enforcement officials from more than 35 countries to demonstrate the latest technology tools.
