First 30 minutes
Secure the accounts that control the rest
For Norwich households and small businesses, one compromised mailbox, Microsoft 365 account, domain login or website admin account can quickly become a wider incident. Attackers may reset other services, intercept invoices, alter DNS or message customers while pretending to be you.
Use a clean device to coordinate recovery. Keep screenshots, email headers, sign-in alerts, payment requests and recovery messages. If you run a business, tell the people who approve invoices or supplier changes which route is safe to use.

Norwich business risks
Email, suppliers and payment checks matter
Norwich businesses often work across Norfolk and nearby areas such as Great Yarmouth, Wymondham, Dereham. A hacked inbox can make fake invoice or bank-detail changes look like normal business conversation.
That matters for professional services, tourism, agriculture suppliers, charities and local firms. Check whether the attacker created forwarding rules, changed recovery details, added OAuth apps, used remote-access tools or accessed cloud files.
Useful Norwich-specific recovery checks
If your website or domain is affected, secure the registrar and DNS first so recovery emails, website traffic and email routing cannot be redirected. If Microsoft 365 is affected, review administrator roles and mailbox access before assuming a password reset is enough.
For money at risk, contact your bank immediately using a known number. For fraud reporting in England and Wales, use Report Fraud. For independent cyber guidance, use the NCSC guidance for small organisations.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do first if I have been hacked in Norwich?
Stop using the affected account or device for recovery work. Preserve login alerts, payment messages, emails and screenshots, then use a separate trusted device to secure banking, email and Microsoft 365 first.
Can you help Norwich businesses with Microsoft 365 or email compromise?
Yes. We can help review sign-ins, mailbox rules, forwarding, delegated access, MFA methods, administrator accounts and recovery settings so the attacker is not still able to monitor or regain access.
Do you only help inside Norwich city centre?
No. This Norwich recovery page covers Norwich and nearby areas including Great Yarmouth, Wymondham, Dereham, Thetford, Lowestoft.
Should I wipe my device or rebuild my website straight away?
Usually not. Secure the account, domain, hosting or device route first. Rushed wiping or rebuilding can remove useful evidence and may leave the original access route open.
