Unlocking Mysteries: How Forensic Biology & Serology Solve Crimes

In the corners that have not been explored, that's where you find the answers, which you may be looking for. From the set of fields Forensic Biology & Serology forensic science which took a couple of years to evolve, has today undoubtedly given to investigators methods, which they could easily and very precisely be sure of. Bio and Serology are the areas of the criminalistics science, which concern not only with the answer to the questions of where and when but also with the so-called "who." The world has witnessed the incidence of the wrong people being jailed or their executions just because of wrongful conviction, which only high-quality forensic evidence-based justice systems can help avoid.

This article will explain to you the process by which Forensic Biology and Serology combine their efforts to clarify the situation, using the usual real-life procedures that are also easy to grasp for beginners who are not educated in forensic science.

What is Forensic Biology & Serology?

The term Forensic Biology & Serology relates to the scientific study of biological evidence used in criminal investigations.

Bio forensics is the branch of the science of forensics that deals with the identification of the DNA, cells, tissues, bones, and hair of the individuals who are the possible perpetrators or victims of a crime.

Serology applies to us finding the source of a stain such as blood, saliva, or semen.

When a crime is committed, there is usually potential evidence at the scene. The expertise of the analyst in the use of Serology and Forensic Biology can reveal who was the victim of the crime, identify culprits, and in the process, they can also prove the innocence of some of the victims. The technological advancement of the crime scene investigation domain has led to, for example, micro quantities of biological material being beneficial to the investigation.

Thanks to the modern developments in forensic science, skin cells, tiny traces of blood, etc., that used to be impossible to get prints, are now potential sources of evidence that can be used in an investigation.

If you've lost ransomware data, recovering it can be a challenging process, but there are strategies to help. First, ensure that the infected system is isolated to avoid further damage. Utilize backups to restore your files, or reach out to professionals who may offer decryption tools. In complex cases, you may need to apply forensic techniques to track down traces of compromised data. Forensic Biology & Serology methods, while traditionally used in criminal investigations, can sometimes be adapted to analyze digital evidence and identify the origin or alteration of files, helping you recover lost data securely.

How Forensic Biology Aids in Criminal Investigations

In most cases, the invisible that can solve the mystery to itself can indeed be seen through the use of a microscope. Forensic Biology and Serological research can bring out those hidden traces of evidence.

DNA Profiling: A Mute Testimony

DNA is one of the biggest game-changers in the domain of crime investigation. Each individual possesses a unique set of genes and by employing contemporary methodologies, DNA technology can take DNA samples from extremely inconspicuous sources such as a hair, or some saliva, for example.

According to the domain of Biology and Serology in Forensics, DNA profiling is like unimpeachable evidence, which, however, is exclusively based on science. If it's a case of convict to evidence relation or alienating suspects, DNA has become one of the most effective forensic evidence due to its reliability.

Instances when DNA obtained from deteriorated samples can still be used for identification and in the pursuit of justice, even some decades after a crime has taken place are the results of these technical advances.

Biological Traces Detection

A lot of times, pieces of evidence are not visible to the naked eye. Crime scene units who are engaged in the field of Forensic Science: Biology & Serology with the use of chemicals, nature light, and microscopic studies, can retrieve latent biological elements.

Tools such as flushing, an example of blood on a washed territory, or fine saliva droplets can be detected through the use of these devices ensuring that there will be no traces that can be ignored and in the end could be crucial to being missed out.

The Importance of Serology in Crime-Solving

While Forensic Biology delves into DNA and cellular structures, Serology is a source of the valuable information that helps in solving crimes.

Blood Typing and Pattern Analysis

If DNA testing is not possible or gives an inconclusive result, blood typing can still be informative in finding a solution to the case.

The examination of the blood can give information on many points, for example, a struggle, or what direction the blow was delivered, etc.

People, skilled in Serological and Biological Forensics are capable to understand the patterns and provide the necessary information that can positively or negatively corroborate a witness's words.

Identifying Bodily Fluids

In investigation of sexual assaults and physical aggressions, finding out the presence of bodily fluids and their type are important matters.

The respective domain of Forensic Serology and Biology carries out the necessary testing to detect the sexual assault, namely the presence of sperm, vaginal secretions as well as the saliva and be sure about the perpetrated crime.

Through the analysis of these fluids, the time and areas of contact between different individuals are established, thereby the investigation is further supported in regard to the integrity.

Real-World Impact: Success Stories from Forensic Biology & Serology

Through the careful use of Biological and Serological Forensic Analysis, many cases have been solved in a methodical way over the years.

Here are a few cases:

Solving Cold Cases: Once with no evidence, these were cases left to be forgotten and abandoned, now they are minutely reopened. Old biological samples, that have been kept for years, are re-examined by modern methods which leads to the detection and conviction of unknown suspects.

Exonerating the Innocent: The analysis done in the projects at Forensic Biology and Serology has been a factor in correcting mistakes that were made in the past and that have wrongfully accused a certain party, thus, upholding the belief that forensic science is not just about guilt or innocence, but also the truth.

Such true-to-life examples underline the importance of forensic science as a foundation for criminal justice in today's world.

Building a Career in Forensic Biology & Serology

For those who find fascination in science and justice, following a career in Forensic Biology & Serology can be a very meaningful and exciting path.

Specialists are in demand for the various roles such as:

Forensic Biologists: They are the professionals who are responsible for the examination of the tissue, DNA, and cellular material that are collected in laboratory operations.

Forensic Serologists: They are the individuals in the field of forensic science that are specialized in recognizing and studying the body fluids found at a crime scene.

Crime Scene Technicians: These are field experts who are responsible for collecting and preserving biological evidence. 

Conclusion: Science and Justice Move as One

With the help of some of the forensic branches like Forensic DNA & Serology, precision and science that exists through the latter, secrets are revealed, and justice is reached with a fervour

The rising technologies besides the one mentioned above, are proving the competences of forensic experts, that they are faster, more accurate and are making it difficult for the offenders to be hidden.

Every little drop of blood or exiguous DNA segment can really bring on some implications, and at last, through science, that is making the real difference is being exposed.

Heads up folks, NicoNicoDouga is currently down due to a large scale cyberattack

The attack happened on the 8th and the site is still down in terms of video streaming. Apparently there were reports of Ransomware being used during the attack.

The site is still “down” but the blog part is back up but from the report, videos and content posted are ok so do not fret. The site is still down as of this post (save for the blog) and it seems they are working their hardest to fix it and do damage control.

Here is a rough translation of their most recent post:

Report and apology regarding cyberattack on our services

As announced in Niconico Info dated June 8th, 2024, Dwango Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takeshi Natsuno) has been unable to use the entire Niconico service operated by our company since the early morning of June 8th. It has been confirmed that this outage was caused by a large-scale cyberattack, including ransomware, and we are currently temporarily suspending use of the service and conducting an investigation and response to fully grasp the extent of the damage and restore it.

After confirming the cyberattack, we immediately took emergency measures such as shutting down the relevant servers, and have set up a task force to fully clarify the damage, determine the cause, and restore the system. We would like to report the findings of the investigation to date and future responses as follows.

We sincerely apologize to our users and related parties for the great inconvenience and concern caused.

Response history>

Around 3:30 a.m. on June 8, a malfunction occurred that prevented all of our web services, including our "Nico Nico" and "N Preparatory School" services, from working properly. After an investigation, it was confirmed that the malfunction was caused by a cyber attack, including ransomware, at around 8 a.m. on the same day. A task force was set up on the same day, and in order to prevent the damage from spreading, we immediately cut off communication between servers in the data center provided by our group companies and shut down the servers, temporarily suspending the provision of our web services. In addition, since it was discovered that the attack had also extended to our internal network, we suspended the use of some of our internal business systems and prohibited access to the internal network.

As of June 14, we are currently investigating the extent of the damage and formulating recovery procedures, aiming for a gradual recovery.

June 8, 2024

We have begun an investigation into the malfunction that prevented all of our "Nico Nico" services from working properly and the failure of some of our internal systems.

We have confirmed that the cause of the failure was encryption by ransomware. "Nico Nico" services in general and some internal business systems suspended and servers were shut down

A task force was established

First report "Regarding the situation in which Nico Nico services are unavailable" was announced

June 9, 2024

Contacted the police and consulted with external specialist agencies

Kabukiza office was closed

KADOKAWA announced "Regarding the occurrence of failures on multiple KADOKAWA Group websites"

June 10, 2024

Reported to the Personal Information Protection Commission (first report)

Second report "Regarding the situation in which Nico Nico services are unavailable" was announced

June 12, 2024

Reported the occurrence of the failure to the Kanto Regional Financial Bureau (Financial Services Agency)

June 14, 2024

This announcement

This cyber attack by a third party was repeated even after it was discovered, and even after a server in the private cloud was shut down remotely, the third party was observed to be remotely starting the server and spreading the infection. Therefore, the power cables and communication cables of the servers were physically disconnected and blocked. As a result, all servers installed in the data centers provided by the group companies became unusable. In addition, to prevent further spread of infection, our employees are prohibited from coming to the Kabukiza office in principle, and our internal network and internal business systems have also been shut down.

In addition to public cloud services, Niconico uses private cloud services built in data centers provided by KADOKAWA Group companies, to which our company belongs. One of these, a data center of a group company, was hit by a cyber attack, including ransomware, and a significant number of virtual machines were encrypted and became unavailable. As a result, the systems of all of our web services, including Niconico, were shut down.

The Niconico Video system, posted video data, and video distribution system were operated on the public cloud, so they were not affected. Niconico Live Broadcasting did not suffer any damage as the system itself was run on a public cloud, but the system that controls Niconico Live Broadcasting's video distribution is run on a private cloud of a group company, so it is possible that past time-shifted footage, etc. may not be available. We are also gradually checking the status of systems other than Niconico Douga and Niconico Live Broadcasting.

■ About Niconico-related programs

Until the end of July, official Niconico live broadcasts and channel live broadcasts using Niconico Live Broadcast and Niconico Channel will be suspended.

Considering that program production requires a preparation period and that Niconico Live Broadcast and Niconico Channel are monthly subscription services, we have decided to suspend live broadcasts on Niconico Live Broadcast until the end of July. Depending on the program, the broadcast may be postponed or broadcast on other services.

The date of resumption of Niconico services, including Niconico Live Broadcast and Niconico Channel, is currently undecided.

Niconico Channel Plus allows viewing of free content without logging in. Paid content viewing and commenting are not available.

■ About the new version "Nico Nico Douga (Re: Kari)" (read: nikoniko douga rikari)

While "Nico Nico" is suspended, as the first step, we will release a new version of "Nico Nico Douga (Re: Kari)" at 3:00 p.m. on June 14, 2024. Our development team voluntarily created this site in just three days, and it is a video community site with only basic functions such as video viewing and commenting, just like the early days of Niconico (2006). In consideration of the load on the service, only a selected portion of the videos posted on Niconico Video is available for viewing. The lineup is mainly popular videos from 2007, and you can watch them for free without an account.

■About the Niconico Manga app

We have already confirmed that many systems were not affected, and we are considering resuming the service with a reduced-function version that allows basic functions such as reading manga, commenting, and adding to favorites. We aim to restore the service by June 2024.

If any new facts become known in the future, we will report them on Niconico Info, Official X, our company website, etc. as they become available. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
