![]() |
In many civil and criminal cases—as well as personal cases—online investigation is the only way to get critical information. An online investigation can track down information from computers that is critical to the success of a case or any type of investigation. An online investigation will involve an expert investigator who is trained to extract, recover, and analyze electronic files and data. This investigator will also be trained to avoid the possibility of destroying critical data or jeopardizing any of the evidence that is found.
An online investigation most often deals with various types of litigation, including intellectual property theft, e-mail abuse issues, Internet fraud, and marital or custody issues. If critical data or information was recorded on a computer, an online investigation can almost always recover that needed information—even if it was reformatted, deleted, overwritten, hidden, or password protected.
You should consider an online investigation if you need any of the following:
—The recovery of documents, spreadsheets, images, etc. from any type of computer systems, including PCs, Macintosh, laptops, and networks.
—The recovery of emails and their path across the Internet from the e-mail’s original sender. This can also include any anonymous e-mails.
—The reconstruction of a chat session.
—Internet browsing history.
—And more!
In today’s world with Internet access and access to huge amounts of data, an online investigation may be the only way to recover the critical information you need. The good news is that there are many investigators who can help you with your investigation.
