Did you know that hackers spend an average of 24 days in a network before being discovered? As they lie in wait, they use a tactic known as persistence—and the longer an attacker can persist, the more damage they could do.
For more on what persistence is and how hackers use it, read our article. This will explain what is persistence, why hackers rely on it and how we hunt for it.
When hackers target your network, there are five main steps.
1. Reconnaissance. Goal: Gather information about your organization.
2. Initial Access. Goal: Find a way in and compromise the target.
3. Persistence. Goal: Maintain access to the network without getting caught.
4. Discovery. Goal: Get familiar with the environment.
5. Execution. Goal: Make a malicious move.

Frequently Asked Questions: Network Hacking Response
What should I do first if I think hackers are on my network?
Immediately disconnect affected devices or the router from the Internet — this stops the hacker’s access and prevents further damage.
How can I check whether my network was hacked?
Log into your router’s admin panel and review connected devices and network logs. If there are unknown devices or suspicious traffic spikes, it may indicate an intrusion.
Once I suspect a hack, what cleanup steps should I take?
Run a full antivirus/malware scan on all devices, update your router and device firmware, change all passwords (Wi-Fi, admin, email, etc.), and if needed — reset the router / devices to factory defaults.
How can I prevent hackers from re-entering my network afterward?
Use a strong, unique password for your router and accounts, enable firewall or intrusion-prevention features, disable unnecessary remote-admin access, and ensure all devices and firmware remain updated.
