Guides

We have created a number of guides to help you recover from a wide range of cyber attacks. If you have already chatted to us (if not, go here) then you will have been pointed at a specific guide that matches your issue.

Find the right guide and follow the steps. Once you are back on track ensure you read the advice on how to avoid the same issue happening in the future.

Some of these steps take some IT knowledge, although we have tried to provide step by step guides to help almost anyone navigate them. If you are not confident following the guides seek help from an expert. Get back in touch with us if you feel your issue has not been solved by the guide.

We want to better understand the impact of you experiencing this issue, can you share your experience by filling in this online form? This will help us better protect future victims.
