A cyber investigator specializes in uncovering digital evidence online by analyzing online activity, electronic data, and cyber footprints to identify facts, verify information, and reveal the truth in complex investigations.

Digital Evidence Collection

Cyber investigators identify and correlate digital evidence by tracing usernames, phone numbers, and email addresses across online platforms and public data sources. Using OSINT, breach intelligence, and metadata analysis, investigators establish account linkages, usage patterns, and historical identifiers without unauthorized access.

IP address data, headers, and system artifacts are analyzed to determine approximate location, service providers, and access timelines. Discovered online accounts are examined for behavioral patterns, timestamps, connections, and shared content to support attribution and verification.
