WDH-104 Websites, Domains & Internet Infrastructure
When should I seek specialist support for a website enquiry?¶
Seek specialist support where preservation risk, hidden infrastructure, unfamiliar systems, unsafe content or technical interpretation exceeds routine investigator capability.
Evidence and decisions to consider¶
- rapidly changing or disappearing sites;
- self-hosting, tunnelling or compromised devices;
- live systems and unfamiliar equipment;
- interactive or personalised capture;
- malware or unsafe content;
- complex logs, jurisdictions or seizure decisions.
Keep the conclusion precise¶
Separate what the website displayed from who controlled the relevant account, infrastructure, payment flow or decision. Test shared access, delegation, false details, compromise, remote administration and changes over time.
Key takeaway
Escalate early with a defined question, evidence summary and proposed action.
