The useful picture is not that every cyber metric moves in the same direction. It is that the financial consequences are getting heavier while cybercrime remains a material, local risk.

A practical checklist for small Vancouver businesses that need to tighten Microsoft 365 identity, sharing, admin access, mailbox rules, and external collaboration without enterprise overhead.
Read the guideUsually yes, and I lock down everything connected to it so it doesn't happen again. It's a flat $249. If the account genuinely can't be recovered after I assess it, you only pay a $99 assessment fee.
No, and please be careful of anyone who says they can, because 'recovery scams' deliberately target people who were already victims. What I can do is help you report it properly, secure what's still exposed, and prevent a second hit.
That's exactly what the family Lockdown Package is for. I set up two people together, walk through the scams actually targeting them, and leave a simple one-page cheat sheet.
Attackers automate; size is not protection. Most small-business incidents start with a single phished mailbox, not a targeted hacker. A $750 audit tells you where you're actually exposed.
Stop and contain it before panic makes it worse. What matters is whether you only opened the page, entered a password, approved a sign-in prompt, or installed anything. I help people sort that out, change what needs changing, and check the connected accounts that are actually at risk.
Contain the mailbox first: reset the password, revoke active sessions, review MFA, check for forwarding rules, and inspect what the attacker touched. Then you work outward into related accounts, client communications, and root-cause hardening.
Worry about unmanaged use, not AI itself. You need a one-page policy and an approved-tools list so people get the benefit without pasting sensitive data into the wrong place. That's what Safe AI Adoption covers.
Yes. Voice-clone scams and more convincing phishing are real enough that families and finance teams need a simple verification rule. The fix is not panic; it is a short process people can actually follow under pressure.
Yes. I handle security; they keep handling IT. I coordinate cleanly and hand over clear documentation your team can act on.
