Case Study Outline

Title: Identity Fraud Case Study

Background

Identity fraud (also known as identity theft or crime) involves someone using another individual's personal information without consent, often to obtain a benefit. Identity crime is considered one of the most common crimes in Australia with over 26% of Australians reporting they were a victim to identity fraud at some point in their life, according to the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC). The AIC also states that the annual economic impact of identity crime exceeds $2 billion.

Identity crime also provides a foundation for many other forms of serious crime, stolen identities may be used for money laundering, tax evasion, to make online purchases, or to protect the true identities of organised crime members.

The WA police have been notified of a potential case of identity fraud through scam watch. It has been reported that a software developer named Damon has allegedly stolen identities online to make fraudulent purchases. A background search conducted on Damon concluded that he has had no prior convictions, and the suspect denies allegations of identity fraud. Police officers obtained a warrant and entered Damon's workplace; network traffic logs were analysed, and officers concluded there is a high probability of criminal involvement. Damon's device was seized, and a "forensic image" was created to be further analysed by the digital forensics team.

As the latest recruit to the digital forensics team, you have been assigned the task of examining the forensic image of the suspect's laptop. At this point in time, there is insufficient evidence to draw any conclusions regarding the identity fraud case. It is your task to conclude with evidence beyond reasonable doubt that the suspect has committed an identity fraud crime so that they can be prosecuted.

Assignment

Assessable Workshop: Forensic Investigation Plan

Digital forensic investigations cannot be conducted without a written permission or warrant. In this assignment, you will write a plan that you would forward to your (hypothetical) line manager to get approval so that you can proceed with the investigation, and also to make him understand the requirements of the task so that he or she can assign hardware and software resources as well as the right number of investigators to the case.

Assignment Brief

This assessable workshop is designed to get you thinking about how you may approach the case study assignment. Using the case study outline, your task is to prepare a plan (using Microsoft Word) that describes your understanding, method and intentions for undertaking the actual investigation. Remember, at this point in time, your (hypothetical) line manager has not yet approved you to commence the investigation. Hence, you are outlining all the facts to obtain formal permission to proceed with the investigation.
