Computerized information is sticky and can leave valuable artifacts and evidence behind, not only on computers and phones but also on tablets, social media, vehicle infotainment systems, cable modems and other data repositories. Whether requesting or responding, we help legal counsel ensure that relevant and pertinent data is not overlooked, and preservation requests are thorough. We also help counsel understand the value or in some cases the potential liability that lies within specific data productions.

The internet can be divided into three layers. Most people are only aware of, and operate within, the Surface Web, the level that’s indexed and can be accessed by browsers like Google and Bing. Less than 5% of the Web is in the Surface layer. The balance is in the Deep layer, where passwords are required for access, and the Dark Web, where site addresses are not publicly available, and special browser tools (TOR) are needed for access. The majority of illicit and illegal activity is in the Dark Web. Blackheart has extensive experience in navigating through these layers, and maintains a covert presence on forums and chat boards where stolen data and illicit products are distributed and monetized, to uncover potentially harmful client information that may have been exposed.
