He suspected that the ex-director had taken intellectual property owned by the company relating to a new product which was soon to go into production. Suspicions had been raised when the routine company staff leaver process was completed and flagged some concerns.<\/p>\n<p>QCC was asked to conduct imaging and analysis of the ex-director\u2019s laptop, mobile phone and iPad. The initial analysis confirmed that large amounts of data had been copied from the company\u2019s network to the iPad and then onto the mobile phone where it was then emailed to a Hotmail account. Using forensic tools, QCC extracted the communication data from both devices and managed to discover historical communications between the ex-director and the competitor.<\/p>\n<p>Information taken included specifications of a new product and a customer data base backup. QCC analysts presented their findings to the Client\u2019s Head of Legal who invoked a legal action against the ex-director which resulted in a successful court action against the ex-director and his new employer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qccglobal.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for further advice or return to\u00a0<strong><a

QCC\u2019s forensics team extracted the data from the phones using our forensic tools and conducted analysis to identify data transfer activity relating to the time period concerned and changes to the standard software configuration of the phones. It was discovered that \u2018malware\u2019 had been introduced to the two iPhones and one Samsung Galaxy which allowed monitoring of communications including email, SMS and phone calls and the use of the phones own microphone as an eavesdropping device.<\/p>\n<p>The Client did not want to pursue the situation legally but did ask QCC to clean the phones of malware and advise on the best way for their executives to communicate securely going forward.

The exhibits had been seized as part of a raid on a major cannabis factory and the investigating officer needed a fast turnaround on the analysis and reporting of the results as the police investigation was still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>QCC forensically examined the exhibits and quickly discovered that they were not SIM card readers but were in fact GSM eavesdropping devices. QCC conducted further analysis of the exhibits including their SIM cards and discovered that the devices had been used by the cannabis growers to monitor the cannabis factory remotely to avoid being caught by the police. QCC completed the analysis in less than 24 hours and reported back to the investigating officer who used the intelligence gained from QCC to change the mode of the investigation enabling the police to get one step ahead of the cannabis producers which quickly resulted in arrests and subsequent convictions for production and distribution of drugs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c3a1ed e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0c3a1ed\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6bf79d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"c6bf79d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Director who stole new product IP QCC received an enquiry from a concerned Head of Corporate Investigations whose employer had recently lost its Marketing Director to a direct competitor company.
