My Company Got Hacked—What Do I Do? (Real Incident Response From Blueberry Security)
A step-by-step guide for businesses facing a real cyberattack, written by a DFIR expert who leads breach investigations.
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance something went wrong—and fast.
Maybe your email got compromised.
Maybe a ransomware note popped up.
Maybe your MSP called and said, “We need help—now.”
That means your company just got hacked. And you’re not alone.
Step 1: Stop the Damage
Here’s what to do immediately:
Disconnect infected systems from the network (servers, laptops, cloud drives).
Don’t delete anything—preserve logs, memory, file systems.
Write down everything you’ve seen: alerts, user complaints, timestamps.
Time matters. Evidence matters more.
Step 2: Bring in Real Help
This is not the time to Google “cybersecurity company” and hope for the best.
Most firms will hand you a sales rep, a PDF, or an outsourced help desk.
That won’t fix your breach.
You need a top incident response firm—one that specializes in:
Digital forensics (DFIR)
SOC transformation
Business email compromise recovery
Post-ransomware cleanup
Real-time escalation for MSPs and vCISOs
