We’ve been breached. What do I do RIGHT NOW?

We've been breached. What do I do RIGHT NOW?

  • Disconnect the affected device from the network — pull the ethernet cable, turn off WiFi. Don’t power off (you may need forensic evidence).
  • Change credentials from a clean device — passwords for the affected user, plus any shared accounts.
  • Preserve evidence — don’t reformat, don’t delete logs.
  • Call us: 08 8379 4802 (business hours). For after-hours emergencies, existing managed clients have a different number — please use that.
  • Assess Privacy Act notification obligations — the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme requires notification to the OAIC + affected individuals within 30 days of assessment of “likely serious harm”.

We’re a calm, knowledgeable first call for a breach. We help you contain, preserve evidence, assess the Privacy Act position, and engage external incident response specialists for major incidents. We’re not a forensic IR firm ourselves — for breaches at scale we work with one. But we’re the right number to call first.

If this is happening NOW, stop reading and call 08 8379 4802.
