Two employees planned to leave with some of the company's customers, a local company suspected. The employees deleted everything from their computers at work. But not all was lost. The entertainment-based company hired Doug Rehman of Rehman Technology Services Inc. of Mount Dora.
People think that if an employee deleted a file, that evidence is gone.
Deep inside the computer's hard drive, Rehman found a business plan and other damning files. The spokesman didn't want the company to be identified because of pending litigation. But normally, cases are settled out of court rather quickly because evidence is so strong, says Rehman. So far, no cases have gone to trial in the past two years, he says. Rehman learned computer forensics as a special agent for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
