Hi everyone (Bonjour!!),
This is a call to our community in the Perpignan area and the greater Pyrénées-Orientales region. We’re reaching out to help the community because we need to look after each other, particularly with these massive waves of cyber attacks that seem to be targeting our area. Lately, we’ve been receiving an increasing number of calls from friends, both individuals and business owners, who are being targeted by cybercriminals. These criminals are attempting to break into their computers, phones, and networks or using social engineering methods such as business email compromise schemes. We recently wrote an article about this, which you can read HERE. You can also read other security and privacy-related articles from this website.
Cybercriminals have evolved from working in their parent’s basements to running sophisticated operations that resemble legitimate businesses, particularly in Eastern Europe and Asia. These organizations employ hundreds of people whose sole job is to steal your money, whether you are an individual or a business. For example, a friend of ours who owns a legitimate company in our area was targeted in a business email compromise scheme. Cybercriminals posed as them, sending emails to their suppliers and customers to trick them into changing bank account details for payments. This is a billion-dollar industry.
The number of attacks is increasing daily, and it’s essential to be vigilant. As cybersecurity experts based in this area, we’re offering our services to help anyone with concerns or issues. Community support is crucial, and we want to ensure that no small business in our area falls victim to these attacks.
Through our existing cybersecurity company, we’ve protected millions of people around the world from being spied on. We’ve also helped over 70,000 people with direct privacy care requests. Although we don’t speak French, we can use Google Translate to bridge the language gap. We speak the language of cybercriminals and can help you navigate through any cybersecurity concerns.

Additionally, if you have any special projects that require cybersecurity expertise, we’re here to assist.
We’ve encountered and resolved a wide range of security issues throughout our careers. Security is simple if you handle the small things correctly and stay calm. Cybercriminals thrive on causing panic and chaos, so it’s crucial to stay composed.
If you need experts, we’re here to help. You can contact us through LinkedIn, on our mobile, via our website www.goincognito.co, or email us directly at [email protected].
In the next couple of months, we’re going to be opening a cybersecurity walk-in clinic where we will be able to help people directly face-to-face. But for now, reach out if you need anything. These attacks are going to get more and more aggressive and sophisticated. With artificial intelligence being used in these attacks, it’s game over. You could even receive a phone call from your loved one, but it’s not your loved one – it’s a clone of their voice.
Cheers,
Stephen McCormack ⚔️
