Since 2003

The Mission

Didn't Stop.
It Evolved.

Since 2003, Men Against Cancer has been about bringing important issues to the forefront.

For more than two decades, Men Against Cancer has evolved alongside changing times, changing technology, changing economies, changing industries, and changing challenges.

Our journey has included entrepreneurship, business ventures, medical-marijuana-related businesses and services, clothing and streetwear, cryptocurrency and blockchain projects, investments, technology, and other ventures.

We've experienced the world of business from different angles. We've watched industries change. We've watched technology transform the way people communicate. We've watched businesses move increasingly into digital environments. We've watched information become one of the most valuable assets a person, business, or organization can possess.

One Thing Has Remained Consistent
AWARENESS.

Our original cancer-awareness mission remains an important part of who we are. But the world has changed — and so have the threats people face every day. So Men Against Cancer has evolved too.

Our Evolution

Two Decades of Change.

Since 2003, Men Against Cancer has experienced more than two decades of business, entrepreneurship, technology, and economic change. We've seen entire economies move online. We've seen personal information become increasingly connected to everyday life.

So Men Against Cancer Has Evolved Too.
The way people work has changed.
The way businesses operate has changed.
The way people communicate has changed.
The way people conduct financial transactions has changed.
The way people apply for jobs has changed.
The way employers manage employees has changed.
The way people authenticate their identities has changed.
And the ways criminals attempt to steal information, money, identities, accounts, and access have changed.
Your Digital Identity

Today, Your Identity May Be Connected To:

Telephone number
Email address
Social Security number
Employer & payroll account
Bank accounts & credit
Medical records
Government accounts
Cryptocurrency accounts
Social-media accounts
Apple or Google account
Cloud & authentication apps
Work computer & mobile device
Business & customer accounts
Online subscriptions

When one part of that identity becomes compromised, the consequences can potentially spread across multiple systems.

That is why cybersecurity isn't just an IT issue anymore. It is:

A Personal Issue
A Family Issue
A Workplace Issue
A Business Issue
An Economic Issue
The New Reality

Information Is the New Currency.

We live in an information economy. Money has value. Property has value. Products have value. But information has value too.

Information can potentially be used to impersonate people, access accounts, commit fraud, target additional victims, or gain unauthorized access to systems.

That is why protecting information is increasingly connected to protecting people. And protecting that information is part of modern personal security.

All of this has value:

Your name
Your phone number
Your email address
Your Social Security number
Your employment information
Your financial information
Your business information
Your customer information
Your login credentials
Your authentication information
Your digital identity
We've Been Affected Too

We're Awake.

And we're bringing others with us.

This mission is not simply something we're watching from the outside. Men Against Cancer has been affected too. Like millions of people navigating an increasingly connected world, we've experienced the challenges that can come with protecting digital identity, communications, accounts, information, and access.

Those experiences reinforced something we already understood: these issues are real. For Men Against Cancer, being affected didn't stop the mission. It reinforced the mission.

A call to wake up.
A call to pay attention.
A call to learn.
A call to educate.
A call to protect.
A call to bring awareness to others.

"Nobody should assume they are too small to be targeted, too smart to be deceived, or too protected to be affected."

01

Stop

Don't immediately provide additional information. Don't click suspicious links. Don't give out authentication codes. Don't let pressure force you into a decision.

02

Verify

Contact the organization through an independently verified official channel. Don't rely solely on the contact information supplied by the person who contacted you.

03

Document

Preserve emails, text messages, screenshots, dates, times, phone numbers, email addresses, account notifications, transaction records, URLs, and relevant correspondence.

04

Secure

Take appropriate steps to protect accounts, devices, passwords, authentication methods, financial accounts, email, mobile accounts, and social-media accounts.

05

Report

Use the appropriate company fraud department, financial institution, government agency, law-enforcement agency, regulatory agency, or workplace reporting process.

06

Get Qualified Help

Depending on circumstances, contact a cybersecurity professional, attorney, financial institution, government agency, identity-theft specialist, or other appropriate professional.

Our Commitment

Never "Hack Back."

Men Against Cancer does not encourage retaliation, unauthorized access, threats, harassment, or taking the law into your own hands.

If you believe you've been targeted:

PROTECT YOURSELF.
DOCUMENT WHAT HAPPENED.
SECURE YOUR ACCOUNTS.
REPORT IT.
GET QUALIFIED HELP.

Strength isn't retaliation.

REAL STRENGTH IS KNOWING HOW TO RESPOND.

We do not encourage:

Unauthorized access
Retaliatory hacking
Threats
Harassment
Doxxing
Extortion
Destruction of evidence
Account attacks
Taking the law into your own hands
The MAC Resource Center

The Men Against Cancer Resource Center

FRAUD • CYBERSECURITY • IDENTITY PROTECTION • COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER

One of our goals is to create a centralized resource center. If you don't know where to report something, we want to help you find the right starting point.

The Resource Center will focus on legitimate, verifiable organizations and official reporting channels.

FBI — Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)

IC3 provides a mechanism for reporting cyber-enabled crime and online fraud.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

The FTC provides consumer-protection and identity-theft resources, including IdentityTheft.gov for identity-theft reporting and recovery.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)

CISA provides cybersecurity education and guidance, including information regarding phishing, authentication, MFA, and other cybersecurity practices.

Social Security Administration — Office of Inspector General

For reporting suspected Social Security-related fraud, waste, abuse, or misuse.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

For tax-related identity theft and employment-related identity-theft resources.

Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR)

For Nevada unemployment fraud and identity-theft-related unemployment claims.

Nevada Attorney General — Bureau of Consumer Protection

For consumer-protection information and complaints involving scams and fraud.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

For information concerning employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other matters within the EEOC's jurisdiction.

NOT RANDOM INDIVIDUALS.
NOT UNVERIFIED "INVESTIGATORS."
NOT PEOPLE WHO DEMAND MONEY TO "RECOVER" YOUR FUNDS.
VERIFIED RESOURCES.
A Critical Warning

Be Careful Who You Trust After You've Been Victimized

One of the most dangerous moments can be immediately after someone believes they've been victimized.

A person may be:

Angry.
Scared.
Confused.
Desperate.

They may search the internet for someone who promises:

"We can recover your money."
"We can hack them back."
"We know exactly who did it."
"We can get your account back."
"We can investigate everything."

That is exactly when people should slow down.

BE CAREFUL OF RECOVERY SCAMS.

Don't assume someone is legitimate because they use:

Professional graphics
Technical terminology
Government logos
Police terminology
Cybersecurity terminology
Legal terminology
Social-media followers
Testimonials
A professional-looking website
Verify independently.
Our Philosophy
Awareness creates knowledge.
Knowledge creates preparedness.
Preparedness can create protection.

As Men Against Cancer expands into cybersecurity and fraud awareness, we are making an important commitment: We will put facts first.

We will distinguish between:

Verified information
Personal experience
Reported allegations
Professional opinions
Emerging information
Unconfirmed claims

Those categories should never be confused. If something is established, we will say it is established. If something is alleged, we will say it is alleged. If something is our personal experience, we will identify it as our experience. Credibility matters. Our goal isn't to be the loudest voice. Our goal is to be a responsible voice.

Our Experience Does Not Make Us the Investigator.

We can raise awareness without pretending to be law enforcement.
We can talk about fraud without conducting criminal investigations.
We can educate people about cybersecurity without pretending to be a cybersecurity incident-response company.
We can talk about workplace problems without acting as someone's attorney.
We can provide resources without replacing government agencies.

Knowing where to send someone is part of helping.

Don't

Living in fear.

Do

Living informed.

Don't

Blindly trusting everything online.

Do

Verifying.

Don't

Retaliating against suspected criminals.

Do

Documenting and reporting.

Don't

Searching random websites when something goes wrong.

Do

Having legitimate resources.
