Case No. 06286- EmbezzlementWe were engaged by a company to examine its technical infrastructure for suspected intrusion and/or monitoring. Investigation revealed an ongoing breach was in fact occurring, but the source was internal. We discovered multiple keyloggers and other monitoring software had been deployed to company computers. Further investigation determined the source was a trusted employee and that, in addition to monitoring, the employee had been embezzling money from the company for several years. It was later revealed her motive was to steal customer lists and spy on management in order to later separate from the company and form a competitor. Both civil and criminal proceedings were instituted against the suspect, who was ultimately convicted and imprisoned. |
