As an individual, where do you turn if you think you’ve been breached and your antivirus software tells you nothing?
Your Internet Service providers? Your bank?
Your email provider?
The techie friend of a friend who can find a job in the industry?
Your insurance company?
Your IT department at work?
…or your friendly neighbourhood CISSP® – Certified Information Systems Security Professional.
Generally, though, it’s down to you and Google to figure it out.
In the meantime, you stumble around telling friends you’ve been hacked or that your tech is crap.
Naturally, social media is a massive help to find out if someone else has the same problem. In my experience, the emotional pressure is one of the biggest issues. Feelings of WTF and “why are they doing this to me” cloud your judgement and objectivity.
