An investigation was requested by an International recruitment agency to conduct an examination of a senior employee who had left the company and was suspected of taking confidential customer information to a competitor.
The company suspected that the employee had forwarded contact client information and confidential data to his personal e-mail address shortly before his departure.
An examination of the computer revealed that prior to deleting his e-mails, contact and client information had been sent to his personal e-mail account as well as an individual within his new company.
From the evidence provided by Athena’s investigators proceedings were taken against the previous employee.
