Trend Micro reveals tips on how to catch a hacker

Trend Micro recently revealed tips on identifying and catching a hacker attack with the following steps:

  1. Look at the evidence - Track the breadcrumb trail, attack vectors, the timing of the breach, what information was stolen and to whom the data might be useful
  2. Determine the number of actors - "Hackers can make simple mistakes by revealing too much about themselves."
  3. Track social interactions - Following the rabbit hole of clues and public social network profiles may eventually be found confirming the hacker's true name
  4. Watch for spelling errors - Quite often hackers make common typos or spelling mistakes when phishing for credentials signaling a possible attack when it doesn't match the norm.
