Digital Forensics Deep Dive: The Surveillance Toolkit Targeting BCG's Leadership

In the ongoing investigation into Case HRPM-BCG20260, new evidence has surfaced regarding a premediated digital espionage campaign designed to facilitate a hostile corporate takeover. While the founder of Background Check Group (BCG) was occupied by external state-sponsored harassment, internal actors deployed specialized surveillance toolkits to exfiltrate proprietary data and monitor executive communications.

Key Findings

Unauthorized Access: On March 31, 2026, finance account passwords were changed without authorization during an active investigation period.

Evidence Destruction: On March 27, 2026, a 'night shift operative' was brought in to scrub forensic logs after the abrupt termination of Horizon Technologies.

Data Exfiltration: Documentation reveals 161 bank documents, including bank positions and account statements, were accessed and manipulated.

Identity Hijacking: A systematic pattern of using MIS backups (hassan@backcheckgroup.com) to bypass internal security protocols has been documented.

Evidence & Data

The investigation into HRPM-BCG20260 highlights a multi-year syndicate. Technical reports indicate a high-level breach where email systems (postmaster@hiltonpharma.com) were potentially weaponized. Forensic logs from March 27 show 75 unusual patterns, including director payments and salary manipulation. This fits the profile of a 'Living off the Land' (LotL) cyber-attack, where legitimate administrative tools are used for illicit surveillance.

"The use of a night shift operative to specifically target and delete log files indicates a sophisticated understanding of digital forensic procedures and an intent to obstruct justice." - HRPM Investigator

Legal Framework

These actions violate the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016 of Pakistan, specifically sections relating to unauthorized access to information systems and interference with critical infrastructure. Furthermore, the systematic surveillance violates the right to privacy enshrined in Article 14 of the Constitution of Pakistan and Article 17 of the ICCPR.

Recommendations

Complete the forensic recovery of the scrubbed logs from the Horizon Technologies server.

Issue immediate subpoenas for all communication between the 'night shift operative' and executive management.

Initiate criminal prosecution under PPC for digital forgery and data theft.
