Signs that need investigation

These signs alone do not prove an attack. Technical assessment is needed to establish the cause.

01

Files and data

Unexpected file encryption, ransom notes or loss of access to shared folders.

02

Accounts and access

Unknown sign-ins, unexpected access changes or authentication prompts you did not initiate.

03

Email and communications

Suspicious messages impersonating executives, altered payment details or signs of email account misuse.

04

Business services

Widespread outages or unexpected changes without a clear explanation.

While you contact your technical team

Preserve information. Coordinate changes.

01

Record what you have observed.

Note when you noticed the issue, any error messages and the affected systems. Preserve the information available.

02

Avoid rushed changes.

Coordinate with your IT lead or response team before wiping, reinstalling or making widespread changes so useful evidence is not lost.

03

Use a trusted communication channel.

If you suspect your email or device is compromised, contact us from a trusted device. Do not send passwords or access keys in messages or tickets.
