Can AI help you examine leaked data safely?
If you do it right, it can...

In this blog post, our Luke Davis looks at how internal chatbot systems, built on private large language models, can support forensic investigations.

He shows how AI can help find important information in big datasets and speed up analysis.

To make sure the AI output is correct, it should always be checked against the raw dataset.

A critical vulnerability in old Telerik software gave an attacker remote code execution on an SFTP-only Windows server. That meant they didn’t need credentials, antivirus didn’t trigger, and default log sizes meant almost nothing useful was captured.

From there? PowerShell exclusions, admin account created, RDP tunnelled in via Ngrok, ransomware deployed.

They even opened Pornhub either to cover traffic or celebrate the moment. Who knows?

This attack wasn’t subtle. But it worked because basic controls were missing.

We’ve broken down the incident. Plus, recommendations you can act on now to prevent the same thing.

My old 1TB Seagate external HDD turned RAW out of the blue after over a decade of loyal service...

I tried every well-known Windows recovery tool, with no success.

Now I'm giving it one last shot: using ddrescue on BashCore to create a raw image and extract whatever data I can on an Intenso 4TB drive.

Fingers crossed. 🧪💾
