Cyber Crime Investigation

Cyber sabotage investigations can be conducted for a wide range of actions, from a harmful and libelous social networking post, all the way up to the hacking and leaking of corporate consumer information such as credit card numbers or industry secrets. They come in many forms, ranging from libelous social networking posts to hacking and leaking of corporate consumer information, credit card numbers, or industry and trade secrets.

Nowadays, cyber attacks have increased dramatically because companies turn to the web and social media for marketing, banking, and internal operations. The more data and information that exists on the network, the more risk there is in it being stolen or misappropriated.

If you fear that cyber sabotage has compromised corporate secrets or caused financial data to be leaked, or if your reputation is being damaged by bloggers, reckless social media posts, or other internet-based reporting, then Detective Mind can help with a Cyber Sabotage Investigation.

Forms of Cyber Sabotage

  • Distracting or misleading the public or authorities about someone’s true identity, either to harm their reputation or to hide a criminal

Child Safety

  • Place the computer in a centrally located area in your home – not in a child’s bedroom. This prevents “secret” communications or access and also allows all members of the family to use it.
  • Talk to your children about the Internet. Explain that it is an excellent source of information, but some sites are inappropriate and they are expected to stay away from these sites.
  • Establish time frames for Internet access. This will encourage your children to obtain information in a timely manner and discourage aimless wandering.
  • Keep an open line of communication with your children.
  • Discuss their Internet experiences and guide them to sites that are age-appropriate.
  • Consider using software that can block or filter Internet sites or certain words that may indicate inappropriate sites.
  • In a chat room never give out any personal information including: name, address, city, state, school attended, telephone number, family names or other personal family information.
  • Never respond to someone who wants to meet in person or send photographs. Instruct your children to exit the chat room and notify you immediately if this happens.
  • Most importantly, if your child visits a particular chat room, spend at least five or ten minutes monitoring the conversation to see if it is appropriate.
  • Consider purchasing computer software products that can help you monitor and control your child’s access to the Internet.
  • Monitor your children’s Internet activity by checking all of the sites visited.

Viruses

Simply stated, a virus, Trojan, or worm is a small program written to cause harm to one or more computers or networks. A Virus, Worm, or Trojan can also be designed to retrieve information from your computer to be delivered to an attacker for future use. For example, credit card information, passwords, and security access codes.

If You Have Any of the Following Symptoms, Your Computer May Be Infected

  • Does your computer suddenly take longer to start up?
  • Do program sizes keep changing?
  • Your computer won’t boot up.
  • File names are strange or keep changing.
  • You can’t access your hard drive without booting from a floppy startup disk.
  • Your computer's CMOS settings keep changing – and you have a new CMOS battery.
  • Your computer is sending out emails that you didn’t write.
  • Strange unexplained things are happening with your computer; e.g. the CD ROM opens and closes when no one is using the computer.

How Can I Protect My Computer Against Future Infections?

  • Install and configure a good anti-virus program on your computer.
  • Keep the virus definition files up to date.
  • Anti-virus software programs can be configured to automatically check for new dat files (virus definitions) and your anti-virus program should be set up to do this at least weekly.
  • Your anti-virus program should be configured to scan email, all files and folders, boot sectors, and all removable disks (floppy and zip disks).
  • If you receive an attachment or file via email, IRC, ICQ or removable disk that attachment must be scanned for viruses before opening it.
