5-1 Journal: Legal Process In A Cyber Investigation
2
In April of 2022 a Ukraine post office was hit with a DDoS attack. After confirming the attack, I want to get a Warrant for the internet company. Want to be able to follow a possible IP address attached to the attack. Once it is confirmed who is responsible for the attack, I can get a better understanding of who is responsible. Get the FBI intelligence involved since it is believed to be a Russian group who previously attempted to attack Ukraine’s power grid. Since a warrant was served, they would follow the law and provide the information requested in the warrant. If you can find the threat actor, you are able to gather information on how they work. The FBI can assist to see if the two attacks are associated. The concern is that they would attack other infrastructures. So, if the internet company refuses then they may be able to take down the power grid. Also, with the internet not working due to the DDoS attack they may lose the internet for a longer period leading to loss of information and security breaches. With the cooperation of the internet company can stop a country from a catastrophe.
