The book Erik Prince probably wont want you reading.

You can rebrand it. You can reset it. You can even call it \"Unplugged.\"

But a ghost phone by any name is still a ghost phone—and ghost phones leave footprints.

The Myth of Going Dark is the field guide for tracking what everyone else insists has vanished. Seasoned investigator and Intelligence Analyst, Joey Ortega takes you deep into the tradecraft of device attribution after resets, SIM swaps, burner rotations, and cloud obfuscation. If you've ever faced a phone that claims to be new but behaves like the old one, this book explains why.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

- Detect network collisions across towers, Wi-Fi, and BLE ecosystems

- Deconstruct shadow identities formed by sloppy resets and reused tokens

- Extract forensic continuity from IP reuse, MAC echoes, push tokens, and app UUIDs

- Attribute control—even when the user thinks they've compartmentalized

- Legally reconstruct timelines, connect disavowed devices, and expose continuity loops

Whether you're investigating stalkers, insider threats, espionage targets, or so-called \"privacy\" phones, this book gives you the forensic advantage others miss.

Not just for law enforcement and investigative professionals, it's essential reading for anyone who's ever heard:

\"That's not my phone.\"

Or worse:

\"Sorry, that phone's inactive. It won't help us find the suspect.\"

\"The phone that disappeared with them, has no active SIM. We can't use it to locate your daughter.\"

Joey Ortega began his investigative career at 18, working as an apprentice investigator specializing in insurance fraud and background checks. Demonstrating exceptional skill in surveillance and information gathering, Joey quickly advanced to tackle increasingly complex cases.

He transitioned to conducting internal investigations for major companies like Sears, Roebuck & Co., Saks Fifth Avenue, and Kmart, uncovering internal theft, embezzlement, and organized crime. His success led to a national investigator role for a cellular retail chain, managing crime ring investigations on a national scale.

Trained in the Reid Technique for interviewing and interrogation, Joey consistently secured confessions without any prosecution challenges. While working for private investigative agencies, he expanded into defense investigations, missing persons cases, and stalking investigations. His work in stalking cases sparked a passion for cyber-crime, where he mastered tracking harassing emails and became a trusted resource for victims of internet fraud and cyberattacks. His innovative methods in tracking eBay fraudsters were featured in PI Magazine in June 2005.

Joey'''¬'„¢s investigative journalism further enhanced his expertise in OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence), HUMINT (Human Intelligence), SOCINT (Social Media Intelligence), and GEOINT (Geo-spatial Intelligence) applying these skills to high-profile cases involving criminal networks, cyber-crime, and corporate espionage.

Notable achievements include:

Assisting the FBI in thwarting cyberattacks planned by the hacking collective Anonymous.

Identifying and locating Anonymous members terrorizing prominent citizens in Steubenville, Ohio.

Preventing a cyberattack on California'''¬'„¢s Child Support Department.

Dismantling an international Nigerian scam ring spanning the UK, Angola, and the U.S.

Joey founded Joey Ortega Intel, LLC, an internationally recognized consultancy serving global clientele, including corporations, VIPs, and celebrities. He specializes in resolving complex cases such as terrorism, extortion, and cyber-crime, blending traditional investigative techniques with cutting-edge methodologies. With over 20 years of experience, Joey'''¬'„¢s ethical and innovative approach consistently delivers results in cases deemed unsolvable by others.
