Hackastra // Discreet Incident Response
Where systems are already compromised, data is already leaking, and panic has already set in. We don't deal in theory, audits, or compliance checklists — our work is built on real attacker behavior, underground methodologies, and forensic trace analysis.
Hackastra provides discreet cyber incident response for active intrusions, ransomware, data leaks, impersonation and brand abuse, and digital extortion. Open a private, alias-only channel and a human responder joins in real time — median first reply during active hours is under five minutes. No signup, no identity required, and we do not voluntarily disclose what you share.
Advisory-led incident response: guidance on containing active intrusions while an attacker is still inside your systems. Ransomware response strategy and negotiation support without feeding the panic. Data-leak source tracing across paste sites, dark-web markets, and messaging channels. Coordination of evidence-based takedown requests for cloned sites and fake profiles. Strategic advisory for digital extortion and blackmail affecting individuals and executives. Post-incident forensic trace analysis so you understand exactly what happened, when, and through which door. Direct technical intervention on client systems happens only under a separately agreed, explicitly authorized scope.
Hackastra is not an agency or a call center. It is founded and run by prakash shinde, an independent security practitioner, operating as HACKASTRA INFOSEC L.L.C-FZ, registered in the UAE. One operator works your case end to end — fewer people means fewer places for your incident to leak from. Capacity is deliberately small: one case gets full attention, never a queue of fifty.
Triage is free. After we understand the situation, we quote a fixed scope — most engagements are completed for a single defined fee, paid on completion. No hourly billing during the panic. Regulatory notification duties (GDPR, SEC, and similar) always remain with the client; we advise, you decide.
Don't power off affected machines — memory holds evidence. Don't wipe or reinstall — you destroy the trail. Don't reply to the attacker — every message you send teaches them about your state of mind. Don't change passwords company-wide yet — if the attacker is watching, you tip them off. Open the channel first — we'll guide the next thirty minutes, step by step, in plain language.
