Extortion and harassment
Extortion, ransom demands and sustained harassment are handled as investigations rather than negotiations. The immediate priority is containment and evidence preservation. The objective is attribution and a route to enforcement.

What the work involves
- 01
Preserve evidence in a defensible form before accounts are deleted, which is usually within days.
- 02
Trace any payments already made and identify where they were consolidated.
- 03
Attribute the accounts and infrastructure involved through open-source intelligence.
- 04
Prepare removal and preservation requests to platforms, which respond to correctly formed requests far more often than to individual complaints.
- 05
Produce a package that a police cybercrime unit can act on rather than file.
What this cannot do
Payment to an extortionist funds the next demand and rarely concludes the first. If you have already paid, that is not a reason to hesitate in contacting us. The payment is information, and it is traceable.
