First, file a police report.</p>\r\n<p>Even if your local law enforcement doesn't have the time to conduct its own investigation of the cyberattack, you'll need a police report if you want to collect insurance.</p>\r\n<p>Also, seek some help investigating the crime by reporting it to the relevant<a href=\"http://www.justice.gov/criminal-ccips/reporting-computer-internet-related-or-intellectual-property-crime\" target=\"_blank\"> federal law enforcement agencies</a>.</p>\r\n<p>The agencies responsible for investigating domestic Internet crime include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the United States Secret Service, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.</p>\r\n<p>You can also file a complaint with the FBI's <a href=\"http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Internet Crime Complaint Center </a>(IC3).</p>\r\n<h3><em>Seek Legal Advice</em></h3>\r\n<p>Legal counsel can be expensive, but you'll need it to prepare for a potential lawsuit if your customers suffered damage, like the theft of personal information, during the breach.</p>\r\n<p>After its own cyberattack in 2013, Target was forced to<a href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/03/19/394039055/target-offers-10-million-settlement-in-data-breach-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\"> offer a $10 million settlement</a> to its hacking victims whose credit card numbers were stolen.</p>\r\n<p>So do the smart thing and hire yourself a good lawyer who specializes in business law, just in case your recent hacking experience <a href=\"http://millerlawgroup.net/practice-areas/business-law-attorneys/\" target=\"_blank\">opens up your business to legal liability</a>.</p>\r\n<p>A lawyer can also advise you when you're forced to make the decision of whom to tell publicly about the cyberattack.</p>\r\n<h3><em>Hack-Proof Your System</em></h3>\r\n<p>Now that you've gotten the experts to fix your computer and launch an investigation, it's time to minimize the chances this hacking will happen again.</p>\r\n<p>Replace your old, insecure technology with updated, more secure systems. It really is that simple.</p>\r\n<p>First, do your research. For example, companies such as Internet-security mogul, Symantec have introduced <a href=\"http://www.symantec.com/reputation-based-security/\" target=\"_blank\">reputation-based software</a> that rates billions of programs on their level of risk.</p>\r\n<p>And new tools such as Tufin's <a href=\"http://www.tufin.com/tufin-orchestration-suite/\" target=\"_blank\">SecureTrack</a> can help your company monitor, manage and optimize your traffic rules to ensure minimal security risk to your network.</p>\r\n<p>What about <a href=\"http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/7-of-the-best-linux-firewalls-697177\" target=\"_blank\">updating your firewall</a>, too? Chances are it's out of date.</p>\r\n<p>You can increase your security immensely by investing in a new one. And don't forget to regularly install updates to your operating system.
