Cybersecurity & digital evidence

Reliable records help explain what happened. Preserve original messages and files, note the dates, and keep transaction identifiers alongside the relevant accounts and websites.

Keep a clear record

Write a timeline, retain the original files and record the relevant addresses or account identifiers. Avoid relying on a screenshot alone when the underlying message or transaction record is still available.

Use verified channels

Discuss suspicious activity with the appropriate institution using its independently verified contact details.
