Technological and Cyber Crime Investigations
Opportunities of fraud have expanded and with that expansion will come new and innovative schemes to defraud. Cyber crime is flourishing, deployable with minimal costs, has no physical boundaries, is highly profitable with a low cost and risk of operations. This type of digital crime provides criminals with maximum exposure on a global scale.
Fraudsters and other criminal elements have embraced this new medium with cyber crime escalating on a dramatic level each year. Cyber crime is evolving from a one off hacker attempting to wreak havoc to a global criminal enterprise that is taking a serious business approach increasing market share each year.
Worldwide cyber crime damages have exceeded 3 trillion dollars with estimates to pass 6 Trillion dollars by 2021. It is conservatively estimated that 69% of businesses have experienced some form of a cyber attack ranging from malware, computer viruses, phishing and social engineering attacks with an average of 6 million dollars in losses per business.
From small to medium size businesses, to corporations, to government, and insurance companies, all have reported losses due to technological crime. These incidents of fraud take many forms from “technology as a target” and “technology as an instrument of fraud”, as well as a “hybrid of human and technology involvement” such as multiple forms of “phishing” schemes.
Our Technological Crime Unit (TCU) was formed for this very reason. Staffed with experienced IT analysts, security analysts, and fraud investigators specially trained to locate, detect, and secure digital evidence within legal parameters. We are prepared to offer support and a proactive approach in preventing, mitigating and crisis management when it comes to technological crime.
