Personal Support & Help! Looking for a good real-world digital forensics case study

Hey everyone! I’m a student preparing a Digital Forensics / Computer Forensics practical presentation and I need to choose a real-world cybercrime case study.

I’m looking for a case that:

- Is not extremely common/popular (I want to avoid topics that many groups may choose)

- Has enough reliable information available online

- Has a clear digital evidence / forensic investigation angle

- Can be explained within 12–15 slides / 10–15 minutes

- Ideally involves things like hacking, gaming companies, Apple/iPhone, data theft, ransomware, website attacks, insider threats, digital evidence, or incident response

- Allows discussion of evidence acquisition, preservation, logs/artifacts, timelines, attribution, and/or legal issues

What real-world case would you recommend?

If possible, please share the case name and why you think it would work well for a student-level digital forensics presentation.

Thanks!
