The challenge

A device owner suspected targeted compromise following unusual account activity.

Forensic approach

Forensic triage considered installed software, persistence, logs, browser artefacts, network indicators and account-security evidence.

Reporting outcome

The findings identified supported indicators, ruled out several suspected causes and provided proportionate remediation guidance.

Why the method matters

The value of the work lies not merely in locating information, but in preserving its source context, documenting the method, distinguishing fact from inference and explaining limitations.
