Cops Who Started ‘Hackers Are Us’ Service Convicted

August 25th, 2008

Yes, “Hackers Are Us,” a private investigation firm that would illegally install “keyloggers” on anyone’s computer was run by two moonlighting cops. For future reference, though, if you’re setting up a business to do illegal stuff, it’s probably not a good idea to advertise it in your name.

This case was about blatant breaches of the DPA and they were quite rightly convicted.

e-Legal | Gathering detectives investigate what’s on offer at IFSEC 2008

August 13th, 2008

3 PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS FROM E-LEGAL | GATHERING WENT ALONG TO IFSEC 2008 TO SEE WHAT THE FUSS IS ABOUT.

Jorge Salgado-Reyes (Salgado Investigations – Archangel Research Limited) and Neil Sheppard (Trident Investigations Limited) founder members of e-Legal | Gathering went along to IFSEC 2008 and spent 4 long hours prowling the stalls on the hunt for new gadgets that would enhance their covert surveillance businesses.

There were hundreds of stalls displaying the CCTV industry’s best and not so best CCTV surveillance gadgets.

My favourite was one stall that had a small black ball slightly smaller than a golf ball with an integrated colour camera, microphone, USB connector and integrated DVR. The only problem with the gadget was it there was no real application for us but anyone that did extreme sports would like as it very light in weight.

Worlds first ball DVR

The same stall had very small (half the size of a packet of cigarettes) DVR with a button camera at a very cheap price.

Covert DVR – Cheap

Lastly it had a vehicle DVR Which again was light weight and cheap.
