How Female Private Investigators Excel

Covert Results was founded by Robert Young in 2018, but many people and clients do not know that his mother-in-law (yes you read that correctly) is actually his business partner. She was a Metro Nashville Police Detective for more than 30 years and is an expert in many fields when it comes to anything law enforcement related.

Are There Good Hackers?

Time is precious. Time is money. Time affects everything that we do. So how do you feel when a hacker targets you and your precious time and interrupts that time by attempting to hack into your business and personal life? And if the hacker is successful and actually compromises your data then there is nothing you can do…or is there?

So what is a hacker and where did that even come from? In the 1960s, 'hacker' emerged as a designation for an individual with expert programming knowledge who could craft highly efficient code; they had a knack for "hacking away" superfluous instructions and streamlining programs. Basically a guy cut some corners and boom…a hacker was born.

How To Conduct Surveillance

Surveillance is gathering any source of evidence for an investigation, or as we like to call it; human intelligence gathering. The (3) three main types of surveillance that private investigators utilize are: surveillance in the vehicle, on foot, and surveillance from remote cameras.  

Before we dive deep into our story on surveillance, we want to ask you a question. Do you know who “Karen” is? Karen is a slang term for a white woman perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal, this person is usually the one asking to speak with the manager. It’s now a trend on social media; where every entitled person people meet, is referred to as Karen.

So, if you’re a private investigator what do you do when you’re sitting on a public roadway and Karen comes up to you and accuses you of stalking?

Catfish Task Force

A catfish is a person who sets up a false or fake profile on a social network or dating site for the purpose of deception and fraud. Generally speaking, the goal of the person who is creating the fake account— known as the catfish, is financial gain. 

Storytime…

In a recent sextortion blog posted by Covert Results, a lot of people got interested and reviewed the blog. We had multiple calls with individuals admitting that sextortion had happened to them. We know this is a problem all across the world, with AI and technology getting a lot better. People have to be more cautious about what kind of information they’re putting out on the internet.

What’s Your Plan?

Super Bowl LVII is nearing, where the Philadelphia Eagles are going to face the Kansas City Chiefs. This is going to be a great match up! These two teams have been planning all year — they play regular season games, play and win play off games and now only two are left for the Super Bowl, the grand finale! 

If you’re a business owner and you’re not feeling prepared, you should plan ahead just like a professional team. Do better; plan better, and prepare with armed security. Planning ahead includes: taking a look at your security budget and potentially hiring armed security for your event, venue, building, business, or personal protection.

Drugs or Children?

The US drug market on average spends over $100 billion annually on drugs.

In another study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, it’s found that 10% of US adults have had a drug use disorder at some point in their lives.

How To Prevent Spear Phishing

Spear Phishing is a type of phishing attack that targets people through malicious emails. It is more of an attack on a specific person as opposed to regular phishing emails that seem to be less sophisticated and more of a broad net. This typically targets high net-worth individuals, companies, and organizations – where a group of hackers constantly attempt to gain access to their networks and important information.
