    Gabe had previously found a new office but he was now determined to find a better one. He found what he was looking for in a new listing that was $50,000.00 less than the other property. He negotiated $90,000.00 off the price which covered his $140,000.00 mistake. Angela loved the new office and acknowledged how hard Gabe worked to learn his lesson. #EarthComCyberStory #SalesManagementCRM #IdentifyTargetMarket #CyberSecurity Photo by chuttersnap on Unsplash

    The hacker needs the bank passcode sent by SMS, so Harold checked Gabe's phone. The number had been transferred to a different phone, now intercepting bank passcodes. Gabe asked how logging in from home caused this. Harold said home cover was offered, but not purchased to cut costs. Angela thanked Harold for explaining. Angela told Gabe he put it all on the line. Even the $2,000,000.00 to buy their office so it was either boost the security or remove his bank account access.

    Harold installed the security system. Angela and Gabe wanted to know what happened so Harold demonstrated on his training program on his laptop. He gets Angela to change the password. He pops up a keylogger he had running in the background. Harold shows the password that Angela typed. She and Gabe are shocked at how easy it was. Harold shows a Govt Dept email that's fake. Clicking the links installs a keylogger. Gabe feels uncomfortable. #EarthComCyberStory #SalesManagementCR

    Being surrounded with cyber security hadn't worked. Angela was angry and she wanted someone to blame. She was organising an audit of the computers but Gabe interrupted, "Don't bother Angela, it's my fault. I've logged in from home and somehow . . . but I didn't transfer the money out. Harold the cyber security guy made time to see us. He's just arrived". #EarthComCyberStory #SalesManagementCRM #IdentifyTargetMarket #CyberSecurity Photo by rawpixel on Unsplash

    There was no relief for Gabe when he called the bank. They tracked the $140,000.00 offshore and recommended getting the police involved. Gabe had questions for the bank including whether he had been hacked and whether the bank covered any of his losses. The answers were subject to investigation and the investigation time frame ranged from weeks to months. He told them to freeze the account. #EarthComCyberStory #SalesManagementCRM #IdentifyTargetMarket #CyberSecurity Photo cre

    To prevent bank account hacking, Angela had a security system installed for the office. Sometimes Gabe logged in from home. Gabe asked Angela about the bank statement. "Here's our $500,000.00 deposit, your parent's loan of $1,500,000.00 but then 7 x $20,000.00 transfers out?" She never touches the real estate investment account. "So what's the story, Gabe? $140,000.00 transferred out of our account and you don't know where it's gone? You better tell me what's happening". #Ear

    Successful young business partners save for an office of their own. Their bank account is hacked. The story shows how vulnerable your account may be without knowledge and security. It also highlights to cyber security consultants that the "Aha!" moment is often when non-technical clients are shown just one example of how easily they can be hacked. 9 part series. #EarthComCyberStory #SalesManagementCRM #IdentifyTargetMarket #CyberSecurity
