👉 Crimes engineering refers to the deliberate manipulation of technical systems, processes, or data to conceal, distort, or fabricate evidence, often with the intent to mislead investigators, hide criminal activities, or cover up wrongdoing. This practice exploits vulnerabilities in forensic tools, software, or procedural protocols to alter timelines, erase digital footprints, or create false narratives. For example, attackers might tamper with electronic devices to delete incriminating files, manipulate sensor data in industrial systems, or use advanced techniques like deepfakes to fabricate evidence. The goal is to obscure the truth, evade detection, or undermine legal proceedings, making it a sophisticated threat that requires specialized countermeasures to detect and mitigate.
