The three questions people ask most when they learn I work in cybersecurity: how do I know if I've been hacked, what do I do when it happens, and how can I avoid it. Through a small "horror gallery" of real cases gathered during my years at Sucuri, I'll help train your eye to know where to look and spot anomalies as soon as possible — then a recommended checklist of countermeasures to fight back and avoid re-infection.
