Kinsey Investigations for Computer Forensics Cases
Computer forensics investigations are requested by both individual and corporate clients for the purpose of finding and retrieving data. When a desktop or laptop computer suffers a major system error or a hacking or virus attack, it may become inoperable. If important data was stored on the machine’s hard drive and not backed up to secure cloud storage, retrieving files and other important information may become the work of a computer forensics investigator. Conversely, sometimes it’s not the computer, but its current or former user who has attempted to lock files or other data away from a romantic partner or an employer. In these cases, a computer crime investigator will use computer forensics skills to unlock the machine and retrieve what was hidden. Kinsey Investigations has extensive experience performing cyber forensics for both individual and corporate private investigations clients. Our L.A. private investigators have the computer forensics experience to assist in many different kinds of cyber forensics cases. If you need to uncover and/or retrieve data from any kind of computer, contact our firm first.
Cyber Forensics for Individuals and Families
Individual and family clients may come to Kinsey Investigations for computer forensics services under many different circumstances. While more serious concerns include suspicions of marital infidelity or that a child may be experiencing cyberbullying, sometimes our clients merely need to retrieve data from the hard drive of an old machine that’s no longer functioning properly. This may happen because an elderly family member resisted upgrading to a newer computer or if a hacking or virus attack rendered it inoperable. Sometimes, there’s nothing wrong with the machine at all, but the case turns out to be the result our client and their family simply not knowing or remembering where to find the files or data they believe has been lost. Of course, some of our private clients also call us because they suspect their spouse of cheating and believe the proof may lie within their computer. Other serious concerns include parents who suspect their child is being cyberbullied and those clients concerned about potentially illegal material that may be stored on a family-owned device. In these cases, Kinsey Investigations’ computer crime investigators can take on the case from start to finish, everything from onsite acquisition of the machine, if necessary, to circumventing passwords and other security functionality, and searching for deleted data and any files, messages, etc. While some of these cases turn up devastating revelations for our clients, we remember that the first step toward healing in every heartbreaking case has to begin with finding the truth.

Sometimes, bad actors including people who have contracted for the company, disgruntled employees, or former employees have played a part in facilitating these incidents.
