| Dec 18, 2019 at 0:23 | comment | added | Anonymous | Unfortunately I believe that all these messages were sent on private mobile phones, which does give some credence to the idea that this is not necessarily a work issue, though it does arrive from an interpersonal work conflict. I will recommend that this could be a police issue, though I would have doubt in how far they would take it. | |
| Dec 17, 2019 at 23:49 | comment | added | Stephan Branczyk | @Shadowzee, Honestly, I'm not too familiar with network logs. The only logs I am really familiar with are the logs on the server-side. But yes, network logs may help pinpoint the person, you'd have to ask someone in IT. | |
| Dec 17, 2019 at 22:33 | comment | added | Shadowzee | @StephanBranczyk Out of curiosity, does that include network logs? You don't need anything on their computer. Just have the IT guy inspect their internet traffic to see if they have been on Instagram frequently. | |
| Dec 17, 2019 at 20:40 | comment | added | Stephan Branczyk | Were those messages sent during work hours? If so, there may be traces of the logs on that person's office computer (assuming they didn't use their phone). Having a lawyer may also help you apply pressure on the employer to inspect those logs or install monitoring software on the suspect's computer. In some jurisdictions, that's allowed legally. In some others, like Germany, that's not allowed. | |
| Dec 17, 2019 at 20:32 | comment | added | Stephan Branczyk | This sounds like a police/legal matter. Only the police/judge can subpoena more information from an anonymous Instagram account. How is the police force where you live? Is it any good? Maybe the person targeted should just consult a lawyer in their jurisdiction to see what their legal options are (and not wait for the employer to do something). | |
