Cyber Detectives Help Clients Stop Internet Attacks

Posted: Feb 07, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

A cyber detective is one of those professional service providers that you hope you NEVER have to use.

If you are as old as me, do you remember saying: "When Mike Wallace (60 Minutes) shows up at your door, you are not going to have a good day."..

CyberDetective.gifOur detectives are also the last person you want to talk to - unless the internet has gone very dark on you, in which case, they can be your best friend. Let's take a look at two examples to better illustrate our point.

Example 1: a corporation was blackmailed for over $2,000,000 by a person or group that threatened to expose negative information throughout the world wide web. Almost every corporation has trade secrets, and negative information that would be absolutely detrimental if it was exposed on the internet.


Yet another example is a cancer center where a disgruntled person created an entire website for the purposes of defaming them and driving away business. These attacks had very serious consequences on the client's business even though they were unfounded. Since the cancer center's future patients will almost always research their reputation online, this kind of attack is totally devastating. Clearly, with a substantial amount of business at stake, the cancer center had to defend it's tarnished reputation.

So, in my best Ghostbuster's singing voice: "When the internet gets ugly, Who you goinna to call:" : a cyber investigator, that is who..

For a lot of clients, they are totally distraught by the attacks that are on-going and this is frequently made worse by their inability to find someone to help them.  After contacting local authorities, FBI, attorney's, etc., they honestly do not know where to turn.

This is the perfect place that a cyber detective can step in and help you.
