Our management team have been involved in the following cases: Blackmail Scam After being sued for negligence, our client was about to settle a multi-million dollar suit and rewrite their entire software package because the plaintiff was charging: 1. Installation of the software in question had permanently damaged/erased existing files 2. The irreplaceable data not recoverable by any means 3. Could not access files in a specific software application critical to running his business. The data forensics team were able to restructure and reformat all the files needed for the claimant's specific software application and reprogram data. Using electronic data discovery, forensic and analysis applications we discovered that the software installation had not caused the data loss and determined the plaintiff had manually erased the alleged lost data! When shown the evidence the plaintiff dropped the suit and was promptly counter sued. Trucking Company as defendant: After being sued for wrongful death in a traffic accident our client needed access to GPS data dating from 10 years previous. Problem was the GPS data was saved on an old "mainframe" computer fed by outdated 9-track data tapes. The data forensics team were able to isolate from the records of approximately 350 commercial trucks over a 10-year period, the specific driver in question's travel records over a two-year period, and translated the data to a PC readable format. Both sides were satisfied with the integrity of the data and the unfortunate case was ruled an accident. Data Discovery from Burnt Hard Drives: The figure below is an illustration of one of five fire-damaged UNIX server drives literally shoveled out of the debris from a large auto dealership. The (plastic-material) backup tapes had been co-located with the server drives and were themselves destroyed, all financial data - inventory, accounts payable and receivable, W-2s, customers and loan information - was destroyed. Within three days the data forensics team was able to recover 100% of the data from four of the drives, 99% was recovered from the fifth drive.
