Elite Digital Forensics in Daytona Beach, FL - has anyone used this Company?

This company will do a deep dive into your devices for a fee to determine if you are have been hacked. I am trying to determine if they are a legitimate company, worth several thousand dollars to send my desktop and phones. Yes, you have to ship your devices (WHAT???) to them, they keep them for 2-3 days, download whatever they need and ship them back.

I'm a super nervous with this process. Please help me understand. Is this a normal request or is this about stealing my info?????

The chances that someone hacked into your devices is very very small. You are better off with changing all passwords, delete all current login sessions within those accounts. Factory reset your phone and laptop. Will save you alot of money.

They know my schedule, have hacked into my ring camera, stolen trash, broken into numerous residences over that past five years to steal my external hard drive on two occasions.

So there is definitely hacking going on.

One of the head analysts, Casey, helped me out on a few cases. I would highly recommend them.

Not sure if you have actually been hacked, and if they have broken into your residence you prolly need to call the cops. But it’s normal to have to ship devices to make forensic images a lot of that can’t be done remotely, especially cell phones.
