PC Scientist · Wollongong · Business cybersecurity

Business cybersecurity in Wollongong

A Figtree accounts assistant gets a message saying her Microsoft password expires today, with a handy button to keep it. She clicks, signs in, and nothing seems to happen. For a small Wollongong office, that quiet nothing is often the moment an intruder settles in.

PC Scientist finds what that sign-in gave away, removes the intruder, and sets up protection that makes a copied password far less useful. Call 0493 563 381 to talk it over, or request a written quote for the whole team.

Did a Wollongong staff member sign in on a password expiry page that went nowhere?

Offices, clinics, trades and shops from Corrimal down to Shellharbour run on email and Microsoft 365, often with no one minding the settings. We check the account after a scare, close what was opened, and keep explanations short and plain.

Illawarra scares that land in the inbox

  • A password expiring today email with a button that leads to a lookalike page.
  • A Shellharbour shop using a personal Gmail for supplier orders and invoices.
  • A Dapto trade office where the owner's account is also the only admin account.
  • Customers asking why they received a shared file from your business.
  • The cost agreed with you before we begin.

After we hear from you

  • We look at the sign-in history to see when and where the intruder logged in.
  • The intruder is removed, the password reset, and two-step sign-in switched on.
  • Admin rights are split so a single stolen login cannot change everything.

Illawarra suburbs on our run

Offices in Wollongong and Figtree, trades around Unanderra and Dapto, and shops through Shellharbour all call after a suspicious sign-in page. We also reach Corrimal and Fairy Meadow when a computer needs a hands-on check, and every change is explained before we leave.

FAQ

Questions we hear in Wollongong

Change that password from a trusted device and call us. Do not wait to see if anything happens, because intruders often sit quietly first.

We read the sign-in history, remove unknown sessions and devices, check forwarding and sharing settings, and switch on two-step sign-in for everyone.

It works until something goes wrong. Personal accounts are harder to secure, hand over or close when staff leave, and customers cannot easily tell real messages from fakes.

We help you move to a business address in stages, so orders and invoices keep flowing during the change.

If the owner's everyday account is also the admin account, one stolen password can change everything, including who gets locked out.

We set up a separate admin login kept for settings only, plus a safe backup, so daily email use carries far less risk.

Yes. You hear the figure before we begin. A single account check is usually priced on the call, and team-wide changes get a written quote.

If a compromised computer cannot be cleaned, the No Fix, No Repair Fee policy means no repair charge for that attempt.

Sounds fair enough?
