Discussion

If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Time is commonly expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or local time with an offset from UTC.

Check Content

In the SMS client, ensure the GMT/UTC time zone is configured. 

1. Select Admin, Server Properties, and Network. 
2. If a time zone other than UTC is selected, this is a finding.

Fix Text
