An international risk management firm retained NSSG to conduct a cyber investigation aimed at identif ying and taking action against a Pakistani citizen who was harassing a young woman and her family on social media. The individual was also creating fake social media accounts using the girl’s name and posting edited images of her.
The NSSG team initiated an in-depth cyber investigation to identify the harasser, gather his contact information, and assess the feasibility of direct engagement. Leveraging cyber forensics specialists and support from an on-ground local team, the operation quickly yielded the desired results.
Through coordinated intelligence efforts and effective team collaboration, the subject’s contact details — including full name, phone number, and residential address — were promptly obtained. A verification on- field operation was subsequently conducted to confirm the subject’s physical presence at the identified location.
Upon confirmation of the subject’s identity and location, a professional team engaged him directly in the presence of his family. The team presented documented evidence of his actions, leading to a full admission of responsibility. The subject was formally instructed to cease all malicious activities, immediately delete all fake social media accounts, and refrain from any future contact with the young woman or her family.
The subject signed a written confession, including a formal commitment to immediately cease all contact with the young woman.
NSSG prioritised a discreet and low-profile approach, intentionally avoiding law enforcement involvement to protect the victim from further exposure and unwanted attention. To ensure a successful outcome, NSSG carried out a comprehensive intelligence-gathering effort, combining open-source analysis with ground-level investigations. The engagement team was deployed only af ter the subject’s identity and presence were fully verified.
