Doxing is a term used to describe the collection of personal information and the presentation of it on social media. Individuals may collect your information and post it online for anyone to see, but larger corporations and entities do this as well. Unbeknownst to some, your information is readily available online for anyone who searches your name or information. This creates a huge security issue for people and leaves us susceptible to fraud and ID theft.
The good news is that there are some things that can be done to reduce the amount of information online about us. This course is designed to walk you through the steps of getting your information off the internet and other ways of protecting your personally sensitive information.

By the end of the course the student will have tangible skills to help assess veracity and glean motivations from the subject’s words. A valuable tool in an investigator’s arsenal of investigative techniques.
This course is a full eight-hour class and is designed to give the student or experienced investigator a working knowledge and practical skills they can apply to their daily work.
For the Rocky Mountain Association of Special Investigation Units, Joe will present a 1 hour and 45 minute overview of the training with some case studies and examples of this technique in use. As this is a highly condensed version of the actual training class the members can expect to go away with an overall sense of the concept, practical applications for their investigations and the ability to contact Joe if they are interested in a full length course for their companies or for private consultation on specific individual cases.

Topic – Digital Forensics for the Fraud Professional
In your career, have you ever been faced with the loss of electronically stored information; ESI? The statistics are familiar: 93% of new corporate data is electronic and 70% will never be printed. The implications are enough to make even the most hardened discovery veteran shudder. However, this is only part of the story. Truly important data – perhaps the smoking gun that makes or saves a case – may exist entirely outside this large volume of active data.
This class will teach you the basics of computer forensics as they relate to electronically stored information (“ESI”) along with the ethical considerations you, as a fraud examination professional, may have when dealing with electronically stored information. It is crucially important that all CFE’s keep up with this rapidly changing landscape. Are you ready?
