4 Tools for Online Investigations Internet Investigation Tools

1) Domain Tools

WHOIS information or domain ownership information is like property ownership records for domain names.

The paid version is great for obtaining historical domain ownership records which allows you to see who owned a domain name before it was privatized. It also give you chain of ownership like a title report on a house.

We use this tools when we need to locate the owners of privatized domain names who are potentially infringing on our client’s trademarks and we also use it when we need to contact owners of domain names that our clients are looking to acquire.



2) TOR Browser

Is a FREE browser that works on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. The Tor browser protects your identity and location by bouncing your communications around a distributed network around the world. This tools is great if you are making undercover buys or inspecting your competitors websites and you don’t want to leave a trace.

One drawback is that because the traffic is being bounced around the world your connection can seem a bit slower at certain times of the day and night.

I am passionate about Risk Mitigation. I want educate business owners on what they can do to mitigate risk in their businesses and how protect themselves from those in their inner circle.

I will also be providing some strategic advice on how to be prepared for, investigate and deal more effectively with litigation and workers comp claims if and when they arise.

And now a little bit of background on me. I have been an investigative consultant to businesses and legal counsel for over 15 years. I am a license private investigator in the state of California and have testified as an expert in case involving Workers Comp, Counterfeiting and a variety of other civil cases. I own and operate my own Investigative Consulting business here in California and I enjoy speaking to businesses and law firms about current trends in litigation, technology and investigative strategy.

I believe that businesses must implement certain strategies to mitigate exposure to Embezzlement, Fraud, Workers Comp Claims, Trade Secrets theft and many other employment related claims. In today’s litigious environment you cannot eliminate law suits, but you can implement practices to reduce overall exposure.
