Change all passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor for unusual activity to secure accounts. Use antivirus software to scan and remove the malware, restoring the system from a clean backup if necessary. Educate team members on recognizing phishing attempts and suspicious downloads to prevent future incidents, and ensure all devices and software are updated with the latest security patches. Strengthen access controls to limit exposure to sensitive information.
