SMS text messages (short message service) celebrate their 30th anniversary, going from being the main communication channel in conversations between individuals to one of the most used methods for communication in the professional sector, which stands out in the mass trade business of products.

The history of SMS begins in 1984, with the Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen who was already working on the idea of creating a messaging system for mobile networks. In addition, at that time different countries were studying how to achieve a global system for mobile communications (GSM).

Subsequently, the German engineer Friedhelm Hillebrand defined what this messaging service would be like, establishing 160 characters as the maximum. But the first SMS as such takes place when the British programmer Neil Papworth sends a 15-character Christmas greeting message to Richard Jarvis, a Vodafone executive, who received it on his Orbitel 901 phone, in December 1992.

Thus, it was the Nokia company that a year later introduced a distinctive sound to its phones to signal received messages and made it fashionable to send messages from individual to individual. However, at first messages could only be sent between phones belonging to the same telephone operator, until interconnectivity between operators was made possible in 1999, allowing the use of different networks with the GSM standard.

Cybercriminals know the importance of the data uploaded daily on the Internet, and their attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Given the increase in crimes such as phishing, scams, ransomware, the fact of having an advisor in computer forensics becomes more relevant.

The role of a forensic expert is to collect all the pertinent electronic information in a particular case. You must obtain and analyze said data, in addition to processing and presenting it in court, if applicable.

Its function is based on the meticulous investigation of digital evidence, in search of clues to establish responsibilities in a cyber crime.

Computer forensics collects data such as emails, messages sent by the WhatsApp social network, text messages, digital files, documents with electronic signatures.

In this discipline, as in any other, scientific techniques are studied for collecting electronic evidence, keeping files in custody, preserving content, among others.

Faced with some gaps in information and regulation in cybersecurity, computer experts consider it necessary for both companies and individuals to redouble efforts to protect their data, through backup copies, careful selection of the information they share and store, carry out audits, establish firewalls, strengthen their passwords, among the most common recommendations.

The social network Twitter is working on a new long content format for its platform known as Twitter Articles, or articles, in which the current maximum limit of 280 characters per publication could be exceeded.

The reverse developer, Jane Manchun Wong, noticed in the application code the presence of a build regarding the new Twitter Articles feature, as she explained through her personal account on the platform.

Twitter could expand the number of characters

The code of the service shows that the new Articles will be an element that the user can create, which points to the possibility that it is a new type of long-form content, as Wong herself pointed out.

Currently, the tweet length limit is 280 characters, although originally the platform only allowed posts of a maximum of 140 characters, the same as SMS.
