THE INVESTIGATIVE SCOPE
365 ALTERAM investigates alleged large-scale, organised extortion targeting businesses worldwide. We connect threats, communications, commercial records and available transaction data to reconstruct what happened and test who directed, facilitated or benefited from it. We support affected companies and their counsel, and independently review allegations for defence teams, subject to conflict checks. Each finding distinguishes documented facts, analytical inference and unresolved questions.
Reconstruct protection demands, blackmail, threats of violence or business disruption, reputational coercion and pressure through suppliers or commercial partners. Compare original messages, incident reports, witness accounts, contracts and payment requests in a verified chronology. Test the context rather than treating an aggressive negotiation or contractual disagreement as proof of extortion.
Examine lawfully available emails, message headers, account-access records, telecom data and device artefacts. In cyber-extortion matters, correlate threatened disclosure or ransomware demands with available intrusion and data-loss evidence. Test spoofing, impersonation, timestamps and account control; an IP address, telephone number or username alone does not establish the identity of an offender.
Reconcile available banking records, invoices, payment instructions and cryptoasset transactions with corporate ownership, intermediaries and communications. Examine the recipient, timing, commercial explanation and potential distribution of proceeds. A transfer or wallet link is not automatically proof of beneficial ownership, criminal knowledge or intent; missing records remain explicit evidence gaps.
Test evidence of repeated conduct, common control, coordination across incidents, division of roles and financial benefit. Map suspected relationships with their sources and confidence levels, and examine reasonable alternative explanations. Association, shared infrastructure or a business relationship alone does not prove membership of an organised criminal group.
Turn fragmented threats and transactions into an evidential account that can be tested.
HOW AN INSTRUCTION BEGINS
The BALANCE-7 approachWe clarify the material issue, available records, authority and jurisdictions before proposing the work.
The agreed workstreams connect sources, test reasoning and identify what remains unresolved.
Counsel receives a scoped record of the analysis, supporting exhibits and material limitations.
BEFORE YOU INSTRUCT
Companies affected by suspected extortion, their legal counsel and authorised representatives can enquire. Defence counsel can also request an independent review of allegations. Acceptance depends on conflicts, lawful authority, jurisdiction, specialist competence and an agreed scope; we do not act for opposing parties in the same matter.
Yes, where relevant material and appropriate expertise are available. Our forensic work assesses communications, available intrusion evidence, payment records and attribution. Live containment and system recovery require a separately scoped response by appropriately qualified incident-response specialists.
No. This forensic review service concerns evidence preservation, reconstruction and analysis. It does not include approaching suspected perpetrators, negotiating demands or arranging payments.
The investigative scope can cover cross-border records and relationships, subject to lawful access, applicable requirements and appropriate local expertise. We do not claim unrestricted access to private bank, telecom or law-enforcement databases. Qualified counsel directs legal processes and the use of the findings.
Use a brief, neutral summary, relevant jurisdictions and your professional capacity. The enquiry form prepares an email for you to review and send; it does not upload evidence. Secure evidence-transfer arrangements, handling requirements and confidentiality terms are agreed after intake.
Independent investigation can support, qualify or contradict an allegation. Original material, provenance, chain of custody, integrity checks and analytical limitations are documented within the agreed scope. No attribution, asset recovery, admissibility or case outcome is guaranteed; legal advice and representation remain with qualified counsel.
