How BreachFirst works

Small effort, most of the risk gone.

No jargon and no homework. Each guide gives you a short list of moves that stop the attacks aimed at people like you - then the depth for when you want it.

Step 01

Pick your field guide

Every guide is written for one kind of target, because a creator and a reporter don't get attacked the same way.

Step 02

Grab the free one-pager

Five moves you can do today, in plain language: about a minute to read, roughly an hour to set up.

Step 03

Go deep with the full guide

Step-by-step setups, recovery playbooks, and print-and-tape checklists - delivered as an instant PDF.

The field guides

Written for how you actually get attacked.

Two guides are out now, with more in production. Each comes as a free one-page card and a full, downloadable guide.

Real, documented

This isn't hypothetical.

Creators

Linus Tech Tips (15M subscribers) was hijacked and wiped in minutes - through stolen session cookies, not a password.

Reporters

In the Pegasus Project, reporters' iPhones were infected by zero-click spyware. The sources were the real objective.

Everyone

One rented infostealer quietly infected 394,000 machines in two months before it was taken down.
