Luckily for SM part of my day job has me working with the cyber security team for a multinational organisation. I am happy to run some forensic tools on his devices at no cost. I have software that can examine artifacts on computers to aid with the identification of the origin of the attack, discover what ‘data’ the threat actor accessed, remove any backdoors, and secure the device for the future.
As he’s a Scunthorpe United supporter I will do it free of charge.
