Lojack for Laptops
John Schale; Recovery Regional Manager, Absolute Software/Lojack for Laptops
Steve Emberton; Law Enforcement Liaison, Absolute Software/Lojack for Laptops
Absolute Software’s solution is a patented technology which has been in use since 1995. In 2004, it obtained the use of the name “LOJACK” from the LOJACK Corporation. The solution requires the user to activate a small piece of software code embedded in most North American laptops through the purchase of a license. Once activated, the laptop will actively call an established monitoring center maintained by Absolute Software. Aside from reporting many inventory features about itself, it will also report its Internet Protocol (IP) address, call date and call time. These three features are the key components to tracking a laptop’s whereabouts. Every computer communicating on the Internet requires an IP address and the location can be determined by obtaining subscriber information from the associated Internet Service Provider. These records are obtainable by subpoena or search warrant. Absolute Software consistently recovers 75% of stolen laptops that report to its monitoring center.
Learning Objectives: Utilizing Lojack for Laptops as an investigative tool for law enforcement agencies.
