About us....
Cybital Limited was founded in 2021.
The founder, Jim Lyons was one of the first Cybercrime Detectives in Greater Manchester Police's Cybercrime unit, forming this department in 2014.
(He retired from the Police in March 2021 having completed his full Service).
He was one of the first Digital Media Investigators, (DMI's), having passed the National Policing Improvement Agency course in February 2015.
He was an Advanced Practitioner in Cybercrime, investigating ransomware attacks, Distributed Denial of Service Attacks,(DDoS), Hacking and other Computer Misuse Act Offences. "In the field" he was examining Internet Routers and producing evidence/reports on these devices.
He examined "live" devices at scenes, for example he was the first Officer to discover a computer running "Kodachi", (A Linux distribution) whilst still being connected and logged into a "Dark web" drug dealing site, using bitcoin as a payment method. This examination proved technically difficult due to the volatile data but a full RAM capture from this extremely volatile machine helped gather otherwise irretrievable data & evidence.
He was a Cryptocurrency Tactical Advisor for the Police.
He developed and practically implemented the Cryptocurrency Seizure Policy within his unit. Which resulted in the first Bitcoin,(BTC), Bitcoin Cash, (BCH) & Bitcoin Gold, (BCG) seizure of £60,000. He later seized over £1.5 million on cryptocurrencies, including ERC-20 tokens.
He was an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Information Security,(CIISec).
Previous to his 7 years in Cybercrime he had over 6 years experience within the Major Fraud Unit of GMP, investigating large scale, complex frauds. In 2009/10 he worked closely with the NCA, and the FBI, on an Operation into the worlds largest English Speaking Criminal Forum at that time, "Darkmarket" (see Wikipedia) and the subsequent press release; http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/brothers-jailed-for-500000-web-fraud-699690
He has also worked on several other high profile covert and overt investigations; for example:
Investigating a "dark web computer whizz" who tried to hide his identity to commit online harassment and possession of indecent images:
Also being the lead in the seizure of cryptocurrency assets related to drug dealing:
Using his OSINT skills; he was also heavily involved in the search for and eventual positive identification of over 200 victims, of the truly shocking and sickening crimes of Reynhard Sinaga. The most prolific rapist in British legal history.
