Define the "ON/OFF rule" and explain why it is imperative in any cybercrime investigation

What will be an ideal response?


A basic tenet for first responders at computer crime scenes is to observe the ON/OFF rule: If it's on, leave it on. If it's off, leave it off. It is imperative that all investigators follow this rule, because digital evidence can be altered, damaged, or destroyed simply by turning the computer on or off at the wrong time.
