Digital & Forensic Investigations

Cyber Investigations

Investigate online harassment, impersonation, account takeover, and digital fraud with a court-minded record.

Cyber investigations deal with people using accounts, platforms, and inboxes as weapons or as disguises: harassment, impersonation, romance and business email compromise, account takeover, and coordinated smear. Investigations Plus identifies the human pattern behind the usernames, preserves the evidence, and recommends the next legal or platform step. We are not a 24/7 SOC and we do not sell fear.

When this service is the right file

  • Fake profiles are using your photos, your company name, or your child’s identity.
  • A romance, investment, or invoice scam has already taken money and the trail is still warm.
  • An employee or former partner still has access they should not have.
  • Anonymous emails or texts contain knowledge that only a small group had.
  • A review-bomb or impersonation campaign is hitting a professional licence.

How the investigation is done

We preserve headers, URLs, handles, and payment crumbs before they rot. We map usernames across platforms, look at registration traces that are lawfully available, and correlate times with real-world events. Where a platform will only speak to law enforcement, we package the file for counsel or police. Where a civil demand or a platform report will do, we write it so the evidence is attached once. Device forensics is a related page if the client’s own hardware holds the proof.

What you receive

  • Evidence binders of posts, headers, and captures
  • Handle and persona maps
  • Payment or mule traces where visible
  • A recommended notice / report / police package
  • Identification of a real person when the facts support it

Legal and ethical limits

Unauthorized access to someone else’s accounts is a crime even if you are the victim of the content. We will not hack back. Defamation and privacy advice comes from lawyers; we supply the exhibit. If children are involved, we escalate carefully.

Who typically retains this work

Individuals, professionals, and companies. Insurers sometimes retain us on social-engineering losses.

Where we handle these files

Offenders and platforms are often outside Ontario. The client and the harm are frequently here. We work the evidence where it lives, including Canadian and foreign platforms.

FAQ

Questions about Cyber Investigations

Usually not without legal process to the platform. Anyone promising instant IPs is overselling.

We can report and document. Platforms decide. Injunctions are counsel's work.

No. TSCM is physical devices in rooms and cars. Cyber is accounts and networks.

I searched GOOGLE and found Investigations Plus; the initial contact was comfortable and professional. Payment was requested and made immediately and the work was performed as promised: quickly, completey and competently! This is a good outfit and at the end he (Gabriel, I think) provided pointers for my next steps, based on his past experiences.
