We can't stress how important it is to be safe than sorry. We have had cases where people have rejected our services claiming to feel everything is okay, then a week later having lost everything. For the sake of peace of mind, call us to make 100% sure you are safe.

Can Mac's Get Viruses?

Yes! Absolutely. There is always this misunderstanding that Apple Mac Computers cannot be hacked. This is 100% a myth. Mac's over the years have some of the most nast trojans & malware we have ever seen. Not only that, we have seen deployments of malicious firmware also. What is true is apple being a more niche company has been able to develop a very controlled environment for their kernel & Operating System. As a result, naturally the base implementation of security measures is generally more effective than that of a Windows computer. So irrespective of whether you are a windows or mac user, your device will always still have vulnerabilities. To get the best security systems in place for either device, we highly encourage getting in touch with our team.

My Mouse Is Moving On It's Own? What Do I Do?

Often in Scam strategies, hackers or scammers will convince you to install & run live access tools such as anydesk or teamviewer. During the duration of the scam, this gives the attacker the opportunity to control your computer as they please & also potentially gain access to your files. If you are ever in this situation, the most important thing to do is shut off your computer & bring it to a professional for evaluation. This avoids further exploitation immediately. Do not attempt to turn the computer back on as this software can be persistent & as soon as the computer has internet connection again, they could be right back in control.

I've Been Hacked is the most trusted Network & Security company on the coast. We have over 30 years experience in all things IT, serving major corporations such as Dreamworld & Newscorp Australia, as well as 5000+ general clients.

My Laptop Has Been Hacked. What Can I Do?

Computers are one of the most vulnerable devices to hacking. They tend to run systems that allow for more diverse control as opposed to a phone for example. This means, when your computer is hacked you could be facing remote access tools, keyloggers, trojan viruses, ransomware & much more that can not only be used to steal your information, but can prevent accessibility to it also.

Often when these tools are deployed, skilled hackers will play the long game. You likely will not know they have control while the hackers have access. They will be quietly gathering information to gain greater access to accounts or search for identity theft opportunities.

So, whenever you have been involved in a scam attempt or have suspicion of strange activity on your computer, it is always important to take the measure of having your laptop, mac or PC inspected by a professional.

What Services Can We Provide?

Laptop Inspection / Cleaning

We are specialists in data forensics. We not only go through your systems in detail to find & remove malicious software. We also look for the bigger picture & search for points of entry & digital signatures of the hacker.

This means that not only can we protect you, but also make you aware of information that may be leaked or whether it may have even been a targeted attack.

Account Breach / Data Leak Detection

Often people ask us, "can't I just get a new computer?". Yes of course you can & yes that voids the need to necessarily check for malware so long as you don't need data from the original & all of your other devices that share the same network are confirmed to be clean.

However, don't count yourself safe yet. More often than not, when your computer has been breached, it is your accounts, passwords, identity & other personal information that gets leaked on the dark web. This is the most damaging part & can lead for all sorts of issues down the road.

Trying to get these secure & under control can be a nightmare & really have to be gone over in detail to ensure your accounts are secure, reduce your chances of identity theft. We highly encourage getting in touch with our team to discuss your case so we can assist you to ensure you are safe.

Secure Your Computer

Even if you are able to run a virus scan on any ordinary anti-virus system, don't count yourself immune to future attacks. Although, having a powerful active antivirus is a key part of the strategy, this does not protect you entirely from all exploits.

Things like Man-in-the Middle attacks, DNS hijacking, network attacks, account attacks, email hacking, identity theft, genuine support tools used for malicious purposes & much more can still cause significant issues for you going forward. Especially, for those who have suffered financial losses or sleep over hacking or scams, it is more important now than ever to make sure your cyber security strategy is as robust as possible.
