MacOS – Did someone copy files from the Mac

datamacmacosSecurity

I was away from my MacBook Air (Yosemite) briefly and suspected that someone had copied files from my Mac. Here is what I can see from the system.log under console /var/log. Could some experts advise whether this "(non-unique): 000000000820 " log may be sign that some one plugged in an USB drive? What do I need to search for to find out what directory of files were possibly stolen?

Best Answer

Here's the command for generating a list of all files accessed in the last 72 hours:

sudo find / -atime -72h -ls > output.txt

From there, you can run 'stat' on each file to get the access time.

cat output.txt | while read in; do stat; done > accessTimes.txt

You can narrow your search to a specific date/time range via a text editor or grep command.

grep "Mar 31 21:" accessTimes.txt

This may not be sufficient to prove any wrongdoing, but it can disprove it if there were no files accessed during the window of concern. Also, gives an idea of what was possibly accessed.
