Project: Solving a Real Crime with a Real Computer Forensic Investigator Computer forensics investigators are responsible for data recovery and collecting evidence from digital sources. They analyze the evidence to provide proof in both criminal and civil cases. Evidence collection must be done in a legal and ethical manner in order to hold up in a court of law. There are around 4000 computer crimes that occur a year! In this project you will be a computer forensic investigator on the case of a data exfiltration of a bank. Data exfiltration is a theft or unauthorized removal or movement of any data from a device. All the customers’ information including bank accounts, social security numbers, addresses, and names were compromised. Over 20 million dollars was discovered missing from customers’ accounts. Below is a snapshot of the day that the exfiltration occurred. Details were provided by the employees after being questioned by the bank’s investigators. There were nine employees working the day of the data exfiltration. The bank was unusually busy for a Tuesday. All private bankers were booked from the opening of the day until 4 pm when the bank closed, except for Madison Smith who had a one-hour reprieve from 11 am till 12 pm. All tellers take their lunch breaks at staggered times, with teller 1 first at 11:30 to 12:00, then teller 2 from 12:00 to 12:30, and teller 3 from 12:30 to 1:00. All tellers brought their lunch and ate it in the breakroom. Private bankers take lunch from 12 to 1 pm, and managers stagger their lunch break with the assistant manager taking a break from 11:30 to 12:30, and the manager taking their lunch break from 1 to 2 pm. On the day of the breach Alissa Cortez went out to lunch as did Greg Faraday. Carlos Martinez and Alonso Marcus went out to lunch together. Madison Smith brought her lunch and ate in the breakroom. All employees have access to the bank’s network on their computers, and the managers and private bankers have internet access as well. All employees possess a smartphone, and had it with them while in the bank that day. Per bank policy no one is allowed to bring in any other digital device.

In your report you must include the legal requirements, ethical considerations, and the digital sources you will be investigating in hopes of recovering data and collecting evidence to determine who was responsible for the data exfiltration. General Submission Requirements For all assignments, remember the following important elements: Proofread for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. You may respond in bullet form for this project, but use standard written English. Do not use texting abbreviations or other similar shortcuts.
