The 5 Steps to follow if you think you've been a victim of cybercrime


1

Turn Off Suspect Devices

Computer? Unplug the network cable and/or unplug the modem, and turn Wi-Fi off
Smart Phone or Tablet? Put it into flight mode and turn Wi-Fi off

2

Alert your employer/IT provider immediately

Even if it's not a work device or account that's been compromised, the digital world is uber connected

3

Call Your Bank

Request a temporary freeze of your personal accounts

4

Notify Your Family and Friends

They should be wary of any messages or emails they receive from 'you'

5

Contact Your Local Police

There is nothing to be embarrassed about!
