Step 4: Digital Forensics on Devices

  • Conducted deep forensic scans on the client’s smartphones, laptops, and smart home devices.

  • Detected spyware and unauthorized remote access attempts on IoT devices.

  • Analyzed network traffic patterns to identify any outgoing data transmissions to unverified locations.

  • Checked for malicious firmware alterations on connected devices.

Step 5: Bug Removal & Security Hardening

  • Successfully located and removed two hidden cameras in a decorative fixture and a desk drawer.

  • Discovered an RF bug in the client’s conference room.

  • Removed spyware from an infected smart CCTV system.

  • Identified a tampered smart assistant device transmitting audio data to an unknown source.

  • Secured all smart devices with encrypted connections and updated firmware.

  • Installed anti-surveillance countermeasures such as white noise generators in sensitive areas.

Step 6: Comprehensive Security Report & Recommendations

  • Provided a detailed security assessment report highlighting vulnerabilities and implemented solutions.

  • Recommended best practices, including:

    • Using encrypted communication channels.

    • Regularly scanning for unauthorized devices.

    • Implementing a stricter cybersecurity protocol for smart devices.

    • Conducting routine security audits and training for employees.

    • Installing surveillance-proof office setups with controlled electronic interference.

    • Using signal-blocking pouches for mobile devices during confidential meetings.
