The new threat

AI changed the threat. Most providers haven't caught up.

Voice-clone fraud can copy a familiar voice from a few seconds of audio, and AI now writes phishing that's hard to spot. I help families set a simple verification rule and help businesses put a practical AI policy in place, so you get the upside without the exposure.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions people actually ask

My email, Instagram, or Facebook was hacked. Can you get it back?

Usually 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.

I sent money to a scammer. Can you get it back?

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.

How do I protect my aging parents from scams?

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.

We're a small business. Would anyone actually target us?

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.

I clicked a phishing link on my phone. What should I do first?

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.

One of our Microsoft 365 mailboxes was hacked. What is the first step?

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.

Our staff use ChatGPT. Should we worry?

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.

Can AI scams really sound like my family member or employee now?

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.

Can you work alongside our existing IT person or provider?

Yes. I handle security; they keep handling IT. I coordinate cleanly and hand over clear documentation your team can act on.
