Røyksopp, the electronica duo from Tromsø with several international hits the past few years, has needed help from Ibas. In the summer of 2004, the popular band's hard disk crashed and they feared that significant amounts of music had been lost. Ibas helped recover 99 per cent of the music on the damaged hard disk.

In connection with the shipwreck of the freighter Rocknes in January 2004, Ibas was hired by the Hordaland Police Authority and the Norwegian Maritime Directorate to recover and analyse data in the cargo and navigation systems of the ship. Ibas recovered critical data, and uncovered that the ship was off course right before it shipwrecked at Vatlestraumen outside of Bergen. The recovered data is now part of an independent investigation into the accident.

During the Knutby case in Sweden in the spring 2004, Ibas recovered 13 text messages on a mobile phone belonging to Sara Svenssons (the nanny accused of murder). The revelations that came after discovering the SMS messages contributed significantly to the conviction of the Reverend Helge Fossmo.

During an investigation into the Stavanger robbery in the autumn 2004, Ibas found erased text messages on a burned SIM card left in one of the vehicles the robbers torched after the robbery.

In connection with the case of a former Teleperformance director having been found to have stolen files (by illegally copying the files), the Norwegian Ecocrime filed a precedent-setting indictment against the director in November 2004 for gross breach of trust, grand larceny and illegal copying. The principle in this case is extremely important, and with this indictment Ecocrime challenged the laws regulating the field and showed that the theft of computer files should be treated under the same sections of the penal code as other crimes against property. The accused was sentenced to six months in jail (two of which were unsuspended).

Ibas' English director Simon Janes was chosen to serve as computer crime expert on the main panel in connection with public hearings into the English Computer Misuse Act (1990). The hearings were held in the House of Commons on 29 April. Simon was asked to serve as an expert in order to look into how the Computer Misuse Act may be updated to counteract the strong rise in data-related crimes.

Ibas entered into a recovery agreement with the French EADS Airbus, in which the company has had to undergo comprehensive security clearance procedures.

Ibas is assisting Norwegian, Swedish and British police and defence authorities in investigating and erasing confidential public sector information.

Ibas entered into a Global Alliance Partner agreement with Fujitsu Siemens in Germany, which gives Ibas access to Fujitsu Siemens' comprehensive, international network of dealers.

Ibas entered into an agreement with one of the world's largest damage control companies, Belfor International. The agreement means that Ibas will handle all data recovery jobs for Belfors in connection with water and fire damage in Europe and Asia.
