Sam is very responsive and efficient, highly recommended. My shop register was broken which was very frustrating, but he helped us fix it and save us a lot of headache.

Cybersecurity help · Eastern Suburbs

Did someone just talk Mum into letting them onto her Eastern Suburbs computer?

Older parents, busy households and small practices across the Eastern Suburbs all get targeted. We look after the person as much as the device, undo what the scam set up, and leave everyone with a few signs to watch.

Worries families bring us

  • A parent who let a caller take over the screen to fix something.
  • Parcel texts tapped on the phone, followed by an odd card charge.
  • Kids' tablets with apps or settings nobody quite agreed to.
  • Apartment and terrace home offices with email that looks hijacked.
  • A price you hear first, and work only with your go-ahead.

From the first call

  • We start with what was said and done, gently, without blame.
  • The bank and email accounts are dealt with before the computer itself.
  • We suggest whether a family member should be there for the visit.

Eastern Suburbs areas we cover

We call on homes and small offices around Bondi Junction, Randwick and Coogee, down to Maroubra, and across to Double Bay and Bondi. Many parents prefer a visit so they can watch and ask questions, though account checks can also start remotely the same day if that is quicker.

What this covers

Come here when a call, text or login has someone in the family worried. If a computer is just slow without any scare, computer support fits better.

  1. 01

    A worry in the family

    A caller who took over a screen, a frightening pop-up, or a strange sign-in notice.

  2. 02

    Gently retracing it

    We piece together what was clicked, said or shared before any settings are changed.

  3. 03

    Caller tools taken off

    Remote access programs, pop-up makers and unwanted add-ons removed carefully, with family files left untouched.

  4. 04

    Sign-ins rebuilt

    Passwords and two-step sign-in set up fresh on the email and bank accounts afterwards.

  5. 05

    Signs worth knowing

    A short list of warning signs for parents and kids, instead of fear-based software.
