About Hacked4U

Hacked4U specializes in IT security consulting with a strong emphasis on cybersecurity awareness, empowering individuals and small businesses to stay safe in today’s digital landscape. Cyber threats are no longer confined to large corporations; scams, phishing emails, ransomware, and data theft increasingly target everyday users as well. Our mission is to simplify cybersecurity, making it practical and relevant for everyone.


We offer free awareness sessions designed to teach you how to recognize risks and develop secure habits, both at home and at work. For businesses seeking a deeper understanding of their vulnerabilities, we provide tailored risk assessments. These assessments are customized and quoted based on the size and complexity of your environment, ensuring you only pay for what you genuinely need.


By fostering cybersecurity awareness and identifying weak spots, Hacked4U helps you protect against cyber threats, avoid costly incidents, safeguard your data, and strengthen trust with your clients. Remember, security starts with awareness—and that awareness begins with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at hacked@hacked4u.co.za if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Cybersecurity awareness is basically the human side of security. It’s about people knowing how to spot threats, avoid traps, and handle digital tools responsibly.

Think less “install antivirus” and more “don’t click that sketchy link.” 

It covers:

Recognizing threats — phishing emails, fake websites, dodgy attachments, scams.
Safe habits — strong passwords, using multi-factor authentication, locking devices.
Understanding risk — realizing your data and access are valuable to criminals, even if you think you’re “too small” to be targeted.
Responsibility — knowing what to do if something looks wrong (reporting it instead of ignoring it).
 

It’s not just training slides once a year. True awareness means security becomes second nature in daily work and personal life.

It’s both. The threats don’t really care if you’re at work or on your couch.

  • Business angle: employees hold the keys—email accounts, invoices, client data, logins to systems. One mistake can ripple out into downtime, financial loss, or reputational mess. Awareness training here is about protecting the organization.
     
  • Home angle: your personal data, banking apps, social media, Wi-Fi, even your kids’ devices are attractive to attackers. Awareness means you’re less likely to get scammed, hacked, or have your identity stolen.
     

The overlap is big: the same weak password or phishing click at home can end up being the way into a company network.

If you zoom in on the financial side, it’s really about spending a little to avoid spending a lot:

  • Sessions (quoted) → Staff (or family) being less likely to fall for scams, fraud, or ransomware. Even stopping one fake payment or phishing click could save tens of thousands.
     
  • Risk assessment (quoted) → small, predictable expense that helps uncover blind spots before attackers do. That prevents unplanned costs like:
     
    • Paying ransom or recovering from downtime
       
    • Legal fees, compliance fines, or insurance claim disputes
       
    • Lost revenue if customers lose trust
       

In short: the financial implication of not doing them is far higher than the cost of doing them.
