Identity Theft

Several stolen credit card numbers were used to purchase goods via on-line merchants. The forensic investigator analyzed purchase transactions, shipping invoices, credit card statements, and network logs to determine the best possible location from which the merchant websites were accessed. The forensic investigator uncovered the target computer and suspect. After being presented with the evidence, the suspect accepted a plea deal and paid restitution to all victims. This was all accomplished without even investigating the perpetrator‘s actual computer.
