Secured $50M+ in Monthly Transactions
What Happened
After a near-miss with email compromise, a regional property manager brought us in. We implemented strict access controls, dark web monitoring, and employee training to lock down their financial operations.
Where It Went Wrong
The firm was relying on weak, reused passwords and lacked visibility into whether employee credentials had been leaked on the dark web.
How Red Door Shield Stops This
Keep what's valuable secure
Enforced multi-factor authentication and dark web monitoring identified and replaced compromised credentials immediately.
Inspect what's coming in
Continuous email security filtering flagged impersonation attempts that were previously reaching employee inboxes.
Trust through validation
Documented payment approval processes ensured that no banking change could be made without out-of-band verification.
The Takeaway
100% secure payment workflows. The firm now moves millions in rent and owner distributions with total confidence.

When Tax Season Becomes Open Season
In April 2024, Legacy Professionals LLP, an accounting firm based in Westchester, Illinois, just outside Chicago, was breached by the LockBit 3.0 ransomware group. Over two days, the attackers moved through the firm’s network and quietly copied files before anyone noticed. Those files held names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and medical and health insurance details for 216,752 people. That August, the criminals published the stolen data on the dark web. The firm did not finish notifying affected individuals until early 2025, and it now faces class-action lawsuits over the breach and the delay.
38 Gigabytes of Tenant Trust, Gone in a Day
In December 2024, Tri County Property Management, based in Sandwich, Illinois, was breached, with attackers removing roughly 38 gigabytes of data from its systems. Property managers sit on exactly what criminals want: tenant Social Security numbers, bank account and payment records, lease files, and applicant background data. The same pattern played out at Income Property Management, where a single intrusion exposed driver’s licenses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, medical details, and even passport numbers, and the firm did not notify affected people until more than a year later.
