Incident Response: Field Application

Field Scenario

A support technician discovers a customer clicked a suspicious link and entered their credentials on what looked like a legitimate login page.

What You Actually Do

  • Treat this as a genuine security incident requiring a structured response, not just a minor inconvenience
  • Guide the customer to change the compromised password and any reused passwords promptly
  • Investigate whether any further compromise occurred beyond the initial credential entry
  • Document what happened and communicate clearly and honestly with the customer throughout
