Question 1

Which of the following types of files is the most difficult to recover during a digital forensic examination?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: A
Explanation

Both the Manual and CFE Prep guides emphasize that deleted files are recoverable until overwritten. Once overwritten, the original data cannot be retrieved:

''Deleted files are recoverable until they are overwritten because data is not erased... until overwritten. So, deleted files that have been overwritten generally are not recoverable.''

Other file types (deleted shortcuts, hidden files, etc.) can often be recovered, but overwritten files are lost permanently.

Question 3

Orlando is conducting a fraud examination regarding Fast Freight, a large publicly traded corporation, and wants to find the current officers and directors of the company. Which of the following would be the best source of information for this purpose?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: D
Explanation

For publicly traded companies, the best source for information on officers and directors is regulatory securities records. These records typically include ''identification of officers and directors, financial statements, significant owners, and accountants and attorneys''.

Question 4

Which of the following is the MOST ACCURATE statement about trying to locate a subject using online records?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: B
Explanation

''To locate people using online records... First, when searching for an individual, the fraud examiner should obtain a past address of the subject, and search activities should begin with that information''.

This aligns with the Prep guide: ''Obtaining a past address of the subject should be the first step in trying to locate a subject using online records''.

Thus, B is correct.

Question 5

Tonya, a suspect in a kickback scheme, is being interviewed by Carlos, a fraud examiner. As the interview progresses. Carlos notices that Tonya is exhibiting signs of stress, such as repeatedly touching her face, crossing and uncrossing her legs, and darting her eyes around the room Carlos should conclude that Tonya's behavior is the result of deception

Answer Options
Correct Answer: B
Explanation

''Signs of stress do not always mean that a subject is lying... While lying and deception do cause stress, it is not necessarily true that all stress exhibited during an interview is caused by lying''.

The Prep guide confirms: ''While lying and deception do indeed cause stress, it is not necessarily true that all stress exhibited during an interview is caused by lying''.

Therefore, Carlos should not automatically conclude deception from stress behaviors.
