WhatsApp is a giant mobile instant message IM application with over 1billion users. The huge usage of IM like WhatsApp through giant smart phone “Android” makes the digital forensic researchers to study deeply. The artefacts left behind in the smartphone play very important role in any electronic crime, or any terror attack. “WhatsApp” as a biggest IM in the globe is considered to be very important resource for information gathering about any digital crime. Recently, end-to-end encryption and many other important features were added and no device forensic analysis or network forensic analysis studies have been performed to the time of writing this paper. This paper explains how can we able to extract the Crypt Key of “WhatsApp” to decrypt the databases and extract precious artefacts resides in the android system without rooting the device. Artefacts that extracted from the last version of WhatsApp have been analysed and correlate to give new valuable evidentiary traces that help in investigating. Many hardware and software tools for mobile and forensics are used to collect as much digital evidence as possible from persistent storage on android device. Some of these tools are commercial like UFED Cellebrite and Andriller, and other are open source tools such as autopsy, adb, WhatCrypt. All of these tools that forensically sound accompanied this research to discover a lot of artefacts resides in android internal storage in WhatsApp application.

Pedagogical Environment

The Faculty of Pedagogy at Trakia University prepares students from different ethnic groups and students who are a part of the Erasmus+ exchange program. This intercultural environment reveals the opportunities for establishing common values ​​in an intercultural learning environment through a broad intercommunication symbiosis. In an intercultural pedagogical interaction, students are given the opportunity to express their identity through the visualization of ideas, attitudes and thoughts. Art texts are used to introduce students to the traditional values ​​of the unknown ethnicity and nationality as well as solving moral dilemmas, breaking stereotypes about behavior and overcoming prejudices. By using a five-module multimedia construct, the pedagogical environment allows students, in addition to personally reflecting on a particular problem, to develop pedagogical skills to guide the process.

Chris Milan, Managing Director of Southeastern Region at Tribridge, Inc., was drumming away at the annual “Connect” conference with the company band called “The Bridge.” He enjoyed seeing everyone dancing, laughing, and jamming out to the music and making new friends with coworkers. Tribridge had quickly grown over fifteen years to more than 600 employees with most deployed to customer sites around the U.S. and Canada. The annual conference was a cultural staple designed to re-connect the company with employees and employees with each other. But how much longer could they continue to rely on a once a year event to keep the company together on both social and cultural levels? Chris reflected on a recent executive team meeting where the leaders asked themselves, “How can we keep all of these people, from all over the globe, feeling connected with each other?” The leadership was familiar with and had been discussing ways to keep the company connected through the deployment of an Enterprise Social Network (ESN)--sort of a Facebook for employees. They had been told that an ESN would allow for local employees and remote employees to connect more efficiently to help create an overall cohesive work environment. In theory, it would be a much less expensive approach than flying everyone in to Tampa. And, it was supposed to create a continuous--not just once a year--flow of interactions through an online environment. Plus, wasn’t everyone already familiar with the tool? After all, nearly everyone was on Facebook. Why not set up an ESN and they could join that too? At the same time, the decision to proceed wasn’t easy. There were many factors Milan and the leadership had to consider. Email, Instant Messaging (IM), phone calls and SharePoint were Tribridge’s current forms of communication and connectivity. Would connecting through an ESN replace those platforms? Would it be “in addition to” them? Also, Tribridge was a “Microsoft shop” using Office 365. Office 365 included the ESN platform called Yammer. Would using Yammer be more efficient than email for communication? Would it be as effective as a party for connectivity? Could it share and propagate a culture with a distributed workforce? Since Yammer seemed to be the inevitable choice at Tribridge, maybe the real questions would revolve around how to implement another system in the already busy world that was Tribridge.

Emotional Safety

Background:Retrospective studies have found that people with elevated social anxiety (SA) show a preference for digital/online communication, which may be due to perceptions of enhanced emotional safety. Whether these preferences for/benefits of digital compared to face-to-face communication manifest in the real world has yet to be explored. Methods: We recruited samples of college students (N = 125) and community adults (N = 303) with varying levels of SA, sampled their emotions during digital and face-to-face communication using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) (Study 1) and a day reconstruction method (DRM) (Study 2), and preregistered our hypotheses (https://osf.io/e4y7x/). Results: Results from both studies showed that SA did not predict the likelihood of engaging in digital compared to face-to-face communication, and SA was associated with less positive and more negative emotions regardless of communication medium. Study 2 also showed that whether digital communication was synchronous (e.g., in real time via phone/video chat) or asynchronous (e.g., texting/instant messaging) did not impact the association between SA and emotions. Limitations: EMA and DRM methods, despite their many advantages, may be suboptimal for assessing the occurrence of digital communication behaviors relative to more objective methods (e.g., passively collecting smartphone communication data). Using event-contingent responding may have also yielded more reports of digital communication, thus strengthening our power to detect small, cross-level interaction effects. Conclusions:These results challenge beliefs that digital/online communication provides a source of emotional safety for people with elevated SA and suggests a greater need to address SA-related emotional impairments across digital communication platforms.
