Fraud Examination and Investigation Techniques

This article discusses the importance of cyber security and legislation related to fraudsters in modern information technology development and internet services. It also covers the three legal principles of cybercrime offenses and the steps to undertake an investigation on cybercrime. The article emphasizes the need for logic secure to the digital data as well as physical evidence to allow the non-repudiation of evidence on the device used.

Fraud Examination and Investigation techniques
Cybercrime issues are hard to be separated from the environment. The modern fraudsters
are protected by the anonymity victims’ embarrassment through the internet. Cyber security and
legislation related to the fraudster plays an important role in modern information technology
development and internet services. United Nations General assembly in 2010 came up with the
solution for the cybercrime and fraudster by introducing cybercrime legislation. Developing
computer cybercrime regulations acts is a fundamental step for all nations. Criminal acts cover
any act that falls within the cyber terrorism (Wells, 2018, p. 59). The cybercrime offenses fall
into three legal principles such as confidentiality, availability, and integrity (Sommer, 2014, p.8).
Most of the communications on the internet and through networks relies on the internet
provider address to reach the intended destination (Casey, 2011, p. 5). In order for the fraudster
examiners to undertake an investigation on the cybercrime that happened in an organization, the
officer should make use of the following laid down steps:
• The use of illustration language should be enacted while enlisting legal process.
• Make use of the e-mail address information.
• The address information with regard to internet provider should be used.
The process of protecting the cybercrime operating systems, any internal computer
misfortunes is ignored. Intelligence services team protects computers against challenges such as
the viruses, spyware, worms and the programs which are not wanted in the computer system.

organization has a need for creation of multiple roles. However, an administrator must limit role
editing and the roles themselves. The reason behind this is to make it efficient with this kind of
approach.
Logic secure to the digital data as well as physical evidence is required to allow the non-
repudiation of evidence on the device used. Digital data security is configured through running
the software at the same time as the cybercrime. The digital signature provides the authenticity as
well as the integrity of the evidence recorded. The relationship between the digital and physical
documentary security is that the attestation of the operation in collecting and securing evidence
law and jurisdiction should be applied. The role of witness testimony is to give the evidence on
what aspired to the cybercrime. In this case, the nature of witness requires an access that is
limited and regulating authentication of individuals (Gercke, 2012, p. 78).
The Investigative report gives an access control via mechanism varieties. These
mechanisms provide authentication and validate the identity of the people. With systems of the
computer, there is access to varieties of control in the methodology that can be used to ensure the
access of execution of files. The security agencies in collaboration with other government
organs should be prepared for cyber crimes. Considering the consultant organization,
implementation of data recovery mechanisms and a team of experts is one of the cyber
governance frameworks. In this case, the security organs should quick response mechanisms to
help restore and recover data loses whenever such crimes happen in a consultant organization.
