Disklabs was called in by a large multinational corporation who had suspicions that a senior manager was downloading indecent images. The corporations’s Human Resources department had suspended the individual while a full impartial investigation was conducted.
One of our digital forensic experts went to site to advise the both the Security and Human Resources departments how to manage the incident whilst commencing a full forensic investigation of the computer systems involved.
Detailed analysis back at Disklabs digital forensics laboratory found a clash of IP addresses on the client’s network. This pointed to another individual who was the company’s System Administrator. Subsequent findings proved that the System Administrator, to cover his tracks had altered his system’s IP address.
Disklabs’ investigation proved that the accused senior manager was innocent and happily he was subsequently allowed to return to his role.
If you believe that employees are downloading indecent images or misusing company IT systems then Disklabs can provide a discreet and effective investigation service for you.

Disklabs’ Simn Steggles was interviewed back in 2007 by Fiona Foster for a “Tonight with Trevor MacDonald” programme about password cracking. Fiona visited the Disklabs Computer Forensics laboratory at its Tamworth, Staffordshire HQ.
Even in 2007 it took only 16 minutes for Simon to reveal the password used by the reporter to “protect” some data.
In 2015 the technology available to crack passwords and hack computer systems is infinitely more powerful. Yet most consumers and a large number of businesses and other organisations still rely very basic passwords to protect important, sensitive and valuable data.
To find out how Disklabs can help you protect your data or discover weak points in your systems take a look at our computer forensics consultancy capability.
