What Is a Dos Or DDos Attack?

DOS simply stands for Denial of Service. In the context of cyber security, a DOS attack is essentially the process in which by whatever means possible, the attacker is attempting to interrupt your digital operations. This could mean making the internet unresponsive or very slow, turning off devices or locking you out of them. Dos attacks can be a part of a larger scheme to brute force access into your network. Suspiciously slow performance could mean you are under attack & it would be advisable to get your network checked as a result.

What Is A Man In The Middle Attack?

A man in the middle attack is very similar to it's name. Essentially, the objective here is for the hacker to essentially convince that their device is your router. By doing so, they can quietly network information from your device & forward it to the real router & back out to the internet, such that they can monitor your internet traffic without being noticed. A man in the middle attack can be very dangerous, yet can be prevented with some very simple solutions. Contact us to find out more.

My Internet Is Slow. Have I Been Hacked?

More than often, there are logical explanations for slow performing internet including low bandwidth at peak times, ISP infrastructure issues or malfunctioning network equipment. However, it is entirely possible that slow speeds could be an indicator of attacks on the router, de-auth attacks on your device or perhaps DOS attacks on your network. It may just be worthwhile to be safe, rather than sorry & get your network checked by professionals.

Network Hacked

A white background with a few lines on it

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 Network Has Been Hacked. What Can I Do?

A network breach is one of the most deadly hacks to your home or business. Not only does this mean there is possibility of access to any & all devices on the network, but could have follow on effects including online traffic interception, DNS spoofing, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks & more.

When it comes to overall operational security, making certain your network is resistant to common hack tactics is the key to preventing a very devastating event from occurring. However, if you have been compromised, it is crucial to shut down you network immediately! We need to begin a full audit of your devices & network infrastructure to determine the breach & how extensive the hack has been.

What Services Can We Provide?

Network Security Evaluation

Whether you are a current victim of a hack or concerned about future ones, it is so important to have a full network-wide evaluation. Even if one device seems to be infected, it is quite possible that other devices on the network could also be affected.

Not only this, cleaning a device is only going to remain effective so long as the network is secure. A hacker with control of the network has the power to constantly re-infect devices, cause interruptions & perform various exploitations. What makes it worse, is that this could be already the case without you even knowing it. Book an audit of your network today.

Securing Your Network

Being proactive is always so much better than being reactive in these situations. As cyber security engineers, the evolution encryption methods, security principles & exploits constantly evolve. So do the methods of breaking through these security measures by hackers.

It is important to make sure your network infrastructure is up to date from both a software & hardware perspective. We can perform penetration on your network to answer the simple question: Can You Be Hacked? If the answer is yes, then it is clear you will need better counter measures installed in place.

Wifi Audits

Wifi is one of the most exploitable tools of the modern era. Unlike a cable, which can only send data through it physically, Wifi packets fundamentally are always available to anyone with an antenna & is within a reasonable range of the network. This means not only can data payloads be ready & intercepted, but other attacks such as 'man in the middle' & de-auth attacks can be performed.

Fortunately, new encryption methods & software on independent devices can significantly increase your protection from your data being leaked & your network taken over. Contact us for an audit today.
