Cyber Squatters
The theft of digital space

A major university suspected that a group of hackers had taken residence on one of their computer systems and called in Forensics Consulting Solutions to investigate.

An initial investigation by the Incident Response Team confirmed the presence of cyber squatters and also quantified the breadth and depth of their penetration of the system. Further investigation confirmed that there was no destructive or malicious activity by the group and that their activity was limited to the use of storage and computing power of the system.

A thorough assessment of the system identified a variety of points of entry the hacking group used to access the system. The Incident Response Team hardened the system and worked with the university IT group to remove programs and data placed there by the hackers. The team then worked with the IT group to establish an more comprehensive Information Security Program that included regular monitoring and stress testing of the system.
