Cyber Looting
The theft of intellectual property

When companies are sold or even closed, there are almost always disgruntled employees. Sometimes they feel justified in looting the company, and technology makes it easy to do.

A telecommunications company decides to sell its intellectual property and close its doors. Before it can execute the sale plans for one of its proprietary developments, the plans end up is in the hands of a foreign competitor. The suspicion is that one of the members of the Board of Directors, with the help of a company engineer, sold the plans just before the company locked its doors.

Forensics Consulting Solutions was engaged to analyze the digital company resources and identify any evidence that the transfer and sale had occurred. After the recovery of deleted files and a thorough investigation of email records, it was established that indeed the board member had sold the designs to the overseas competitor. The evidence recovered by Forensics Consulting Solutions gave the company the "smoking gun" that they needed to win their case and recover their assets.
