Small shops, farms, and trades get hit because they look easy. Dark Fire Security finds your weak spots and shows you how to close them — in plain English, from someone local.
How it actually happens
Most small-business breaches aren’t movie-style hacking. They’re a convincing email, a reused password, and nobody double-checking. Here’s how a common scam plays out.
Example scenario: a composite of a common pattern called business email compromise. Names and times are illustrative.
Same name, same logo, same signature. “We changed banks — please send this month’s payment to our new account.”
Your bookkeeper updates the details. Nothing seems off — the attacker has been reading the real email thread for weeks after guessing a reused password.
“Where’s our payment?” The money went to a criminal’s account and is long gone. And the attacker still has access to your inbox.

Yours to keepWho’s behind this
“I’ve run a small business. I know you don’t have time for jargon or money for enterprise pricing.”
I’m Chance. Before IT, I ran a landscaping business, drove a truck, and worked on farms. Now I work in healthcare IT, where security isn’t optional.
I started Dark Fire Security after watching too many local businesses get blindsided by breaches that were entirely preventable, then finding out the help they needed was priced out of reach.
Faith and family are my foundation. When I show up, I speak plain English, tell you the truth, and never sell you something you don’t need.
