Security incident help: four calm steps
Small decisions can protect evidence and limit further impact. Take a breath, avoid guessing, and work through these steps in order when it is safe to do so.
Stop the spiral
Do not pay a demand, open more suspicious links, or respond to an unknown sender. Note what you saw and when.
Disconnect if needed
If suspicious activity is active, disconnect Wi‑Fi or the network when safe. Keep essential business systems available where possible.
Preserve evidence
Save screenshots, alerts, sender details, and timestamps. Do not wipe or reset the device before advice if investigation may be needed.

Frequently asked questions
Should I shut down a device that may be compromised?
Not always. If there is active risk, disconnecting from the network may help, but shutting down can remove useful evidence. Call for guidance when you can.
Can you help if I am not sure an incident occurred?
Yes. A review can help distinguish ordinary technical issues from suspicious activity and identify sensible next steps without alarmist language.
What should I have ready for a call?
Bring alerts, screenshots, unusual messages, affected account names, and approximate times. Never send passwords or sensitive codes.
