773 - Are you prepared for a cyberattack?

I often meet small business owners who are confident they are well protected against any kind of identity theft or cyber attack.

Cybercrime is increasing.

Most people don't think it will happen to them...until it does.

The US government, the Russian government, and the US Air Force have all been hacked, all of whom have the most stringent security in the world.

Yet, the average small business owner is certain they are safe.

Cyber attacks are not only a headache, the victim may also face #legalissues, as the following story shows.

This is what one of our members experienced and how they handled it.

“I was viciously cyber-attacked on YouTube and needed both a copyright attorney AND a professional defamation attorney.

Instead of paying a $1,900 retainer, not including work they’d do on my behalf (rate quoted to me by a local lawyer I'd reached out to), I signed up as a LegalShield member and was on the phone with an attorney within a couple of hours late on a Friday afternoon.

I had guidance, advice, and help from both types of lawyers who represented me for my $49/month rate (saving me over $1800 the first time I used the plan as far as I'm concerned).

I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief to save that money AND they resolved the matter for me. Client for life.”
