Still, the attempt had been made at an hour when Brandon believed I was asleep beside him.

At sunrise I copied the alert to Lauren and Russell without forwarding any credentials.

Russell’s security team locked down the account, preserved the technical logs, and required fresh authentication for all access.

A specialist explained that a network address alone could not conclusively identify a person.

The login attempt might have come from a shared office connection.

The investigation would need device logs and other evidence.

I was grateful for his caution.
