Identity theft investigation of what was accessed in your name, and when

What this service does

Identity theft moves fast, and the first days decide how much evidence survives. Here is what to do right away, and where we come in.

1. Freeze your credit at all three bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and add a fraud alert. It is free, it stops new accounts from being opened in your name, and our credit-freeze and carrier port-out-PIN guide walks through it step by step.
2. Lock down email and banking first. Change those passwords and turn on app-based two-factor, because your email is the master key to everything else.
3. Report it on the record. File the FTC affidavit at IdentityTheft.gov and a local police report; you will need both to dispute fraudulent accounts.
4. Preserve the evidence. Do not delete the fraudulent emails, texts, or statements. Screenshot everything with dates before it disappears.
5. Bring in forensics. An examiner documents how your information was exposed and any access that is still going on, and writes it up for banks, regulators, and counsel.

If an email or bank account was taken over along the way, a hacked account investigation covers that account in the same way.

For many routine cases a credit freeze and the recovery plan at IdentityTheft.gov resolve the problem on their own, and they cost nothing.

A forensic investigation earns its keep when there is a money trail to document, complex multi-account or synthetic-identity fraud to untangle, or a question of how your details got out.

If your case is not there yet, we will tell you that rather than sell you an engagement you do not need.

Engagements are confidential. A device examination is a fixed price set by the number of devices, and anything beyond a package is scoped in writing before you sign.

Quinn (Founder and CEO) sets the methodology every engagement runs under and reviews case findings before they leave the practice; the practitioner team executes the technical work under her methodology.

• A direct line to Quinn, the founder, not a sales pipeline.
• Worked in-house by the examiner who scoped it.
• Explainable findings you can verify, with the methodology shown.

What this means for you

• Written scope before any work. You see a written scope covering deliverables, timeline, and price, and you approve it before we begin. You are never billed for work you did not authorize.
• We commit to findings, not outcomes. We tell you up front what the evidence can and cannot establish. Recovery, attribution, and prosecution are decided by banks, platforms, insurers, and courts. We produce the record they act on, and we put that distinction in writing.
• Every case is investigated, not just scanned. A credentialed examiner reviews every case before findings leave the practice. You get a documented investigation with the hashes, method and tool versions recorded, not a single automated scan and a one-line answer.
• We will tell you if you do not need us. If a free or simpler step would resolve your situation, whether a police report, an IC3 filing, or a platform's own recovery flow, we point you there first.

How an engagement begins

1. Confidential consultation. NDA-protected. 30-60 minutes. Direct conversation, no sales process.
2. Signed engagement. A fixed price set by the number of devices. You sign the agreement and the chain-of-custody form before any work starts.
3. Examination and report. A written report with the hash values, the method, the tools and their versions, and the exhibits.

Why this work matters

Quinn sets the methodology behind every identity theft engagement and holds 9 active certifications across GIAC, a methodology informed by her own work as a contractor inside Fortune 50 enterprise environments.
