DROPPING ANOMALOUS CYBER CASE ANALYSIS 2
Introduction
The issues revolving around the cases of international hacking law suit needs a critical
examination of the situations around which the said event happened. Determination of the
victims as well as suspects may take different forms. In the said international hack law suit,
cyber Tech is working as the cyber forensics consultant for the firm with the case in court, which
relates to the hack of the office of the personnel management-OPM. The hack affected the
information of over million workers. In connection to the OPM hack case, several firms had been
linked to the case, and one of them was the Anomalous as well as some other U.S companies like
the equation set in which Anomalous is a defendant. What makes the case even more
complicated is that, the OPM victims, the principle cyber forensics consultant, Cyber Tech also
represent the OPM breach department in other unrelated cases which in some way denotes some
The current paper thus seeks to employ some critical thinking and analytical skills in
deciding whether the Cyber Tech Company should handle both the OPM breach case
investigations and the overseas case all at the same time or otherwise should the company have
to drop of the cases so as to avoid a upsurge of conflict of interests. The paper supports the
Anomalous Company as a client, with special concentration on OPM as a client. The paper will
engage a discussion in what is known and that which is unknown in determining the most
Information Analysis
It is evident that, the Anomalous company had the equation set U.S company attempt to
hack its system earlier before the occurrence of the OPM hack in the year 2015, implying that,
the company to be placed in the OPM hack case in the first place, should not be the Anomalous.
DROPPING ANOMALOUS CYBER CASE ANALYSIS 3
When the investigations are launched, the first company that should be treated as suspect should
the ones with earlier such cybercrime records rather than the companies with no such bad
records. Also, it is very likely that the close arrays in the U.S economy would be the first suspect
due to market related issues and interests that would lead to the hacking of the company
On the other hand, while the Cyber Tech Company may have the clients from diversified
grounds, it is very important that they represent both clients sufficiently, with unbiaseness
(Anderson, 2013). However in the event of representing a company on one side, while it is suing
the same company in another case, it is like that the company may compromise the impartiality
aspects that are needed in the representation especially with the international lawsuits evidence
in the case here. In addition, it is likely that the company Anomalous may expose some of the
confidential information relating the company, Cyber Tech in the event they get prosecuted for
the OPM breach case which it is been suspected for and the company Cyber Tech may lose a
Recommendations
The company Cyber Tech forensics consultant should drop the case with the OPM for
another company to help the OPM in the international law suit, since doing this, will
automatically damage not only the credit it has on the Anomalous company, but also its very
own public image on grounds of playing double standards (Smith, 2008). It is very clear that, the
Cyber Tech company has more information that when obliged by the case preceding with the
OPM, it is likely to reveal this to the OPM which would put the Anomalous at a risk of being
charged in the court of law for a crime that is not very clear whether they were the ones involved.
DROPPING ANOMALOUS CYBER CASE ANALYSIS 4
Cyber Tech has the information that relates to the Equation set and the Anomalous
company due to the earlier claims over the Equations sets attempts to hack the Anomalous
company systems, hence to defend the Anomalous company interest from start to the end, the
company should withdraw from the OPM case, since it is not easy to defend a client and then
afterwards you are suing and doing ground search on the same client as a suspect. On the
contrary, the Cyber Tech should defend the Anomalous Company, based on critical thinkings
perspective that, the said company may have committed the crime on the OPM, and then passed
the blame on historical behavior of the Equation set that it had ones tried hacking theirs (Britz,
2009). As such, it would be total mess up in the event the Cyber Tech crosses the line and sue the
same client they defended in a different set up. Otherwise, more suspects should be brought into
records.
Conclusion
Cyber Tech would be playing double standards by participating both on the local and
international law suits hence they should drop one in order to not compromise their
professionalism as well as privacy protection of the client. Anomalous deserves the protection of
the Cyber Tech in the OPM allegations. More investigations are required in connection to laying
more suspects in relation to the OPM bleach case rather than the two companies. OPM hack
case, affected a lot of the workers privacy protection going to a tune of up to a million, and
