And who served on the juries.
Start there.
Cast a small net.
When I know there is a history of stolen devices in a certain part of Minnesota - I don't have my team look at T-Mobile's deliveries/possible theft in Atlanta.
You look closest to you. You look internal first . . . who touched the account? Who touched the account in the past year? Then you check dates/access times on account. You backtrack the network point (phone, internet etc. etc.). You alert the shipper and the authorities. And you wait.
I do this every single day and I keep getting props from Fed Law Enforcement because sometimes Corporate Employees do shit better than public employees.
Start RIGHT where you are at.
Always start internally and closest to home. To look outside of the DU membership would be stupid at this point. A lot of massive fraud/breach/criminal activity that falls under cyber web and interstate crime starts within. Look at the person sitting in the office down the hall from you. For all we know - a DU'er down on their luck in Florida could have had some 'outside operative' pay them a few hundred dollars to receive the letter and repackage it - and forward it on.
We've had employees here paid upwards of $500 for ten accounts/access info. Fed Ex truck drivers and UPS distribution center employees arrested for stealing phones 'in transit' or being part of a ring where they get paid between $200 and $500 per device - cash money.
