Help! I Think I’ve Been Hacked—Need Advice on What to Do Next

I get that you need to access your patient charts, but it's crucial to keep the devices off and disconnected from the internet to avoid losing more data. If you have to power them on, just do it for the shortest time possible to get what you need, and then immediately shut them off again. If there's a way to access those charts with another secure device, that might be safer.

No worries about confusing comments, everyone has their off days! Just stay calm. Make sure to take detailed notes about everything suspicious you've found, like unexpected iCloud logins, strange websites in your browser, and any unusual sharing settings on your devices. The more information you provide to the police, the better they'll be able to help.

First off, stop using your devices immediately and disconnect from the internet. You shouldn't try to fix or erase anything on them. Instead, make sure to document everything you find: take screenshots, write down any strange settings, and keep your devices powered on if possible. Once you have everything noted down, hand it over to the police. They have the tools to properly preserve the evidence without compromising anything. Avoid logging in or entering any passwords until it's checked out thoroughly.
