Detecting deception: Computer mediated triage interviews to detect persons of interest following an insider attack Coral J Dando (Wolverhampton University) Alexandra L Sandham Thomas C Ormerod (Lancaster University) iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Insider Attack Scenario • Immersive Game mimicking an office environment • 3 teams of 4 • Laptops and mobile phones provided • Solving crime puzzles • Differing levels of access to databases • 7 hour period (1 hour break for lunch) • 4 phases of play (insiders recruited for phases 2-4) iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Challenges of an insider attack • Expeditiously illicit information from large numbers of employees simultaneously • Secure evidence in a timely manner • Non experts involved in immediate post-hoc investigations iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Post-event Veracity Assessment (PVA) • On-line survey tool • 27 questions – dichotomous yes/no, open ended and category • Questions provided one at a time – No free movement • Covertly monitored whilst completing PVA • 120 adults (20- 45 years) paid £60 plus insider £20 iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
PVA Rationale Electronic Behaviour PLUS Physical Movement data EQUALS Unique Behavioural Footprint Check answers to PVA against known footprint to highlight “persons of interest” iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Hypotheses • PVA format more cognitively demanding for deceivers than truth tellers • Deceivers will exhibit different linguistic behaviours than truth tellers • Absence of an investigator will result in different patterns of behaviours emerging for deceivers and truth tellers iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Results • Cognitive Demand Insiders (deceivers) (M = 4.27, SD = 1.51) reported having found the PVA more difficult/demanding than truth tellers (M = 3.26, SD = 1.40), p = .001, η2.64. iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Results • Linguistic Behaviour Significant differences emerged for: • the number of words written in response to the open questions, p = .001, > deceivers • the number of information items in response to the open questions, p = .0128, < deceivers • overall PVA duration, p < .001, > deceivers iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Results • Physical Behaviour while completing PVA Deceivers: • self-adapted more (M = 11.12, SD = 3.27) than truth tellers (M = 6.9, SD = 2.57), p = .004, η2.21 • blinked less (M = 13.92, SD = 6.27) than truth tellers (M = 31.32, SD = 16.27), p < .001, η2.39. iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Summary • The information provided by liars was inconsistent with the behaviouralfootprint • Liars produced more words, but revealed very little Information (vacuous) • Liars took twice as long to complete the PVA • Liars found the PVA more cognitively demanding • Liars revealed behaviours indicative of deception (captured by covert monitoring) – behaviours that were NOT revealed by truth tellers iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
Conclusion The PVA is a practical and effective forensic tool for collecting information, expeditiously and simultaneously, to highlight persons of interest following an insider attack occurrence Questions? iIIRG 2013, Maastricht
