Meet Fahad & Sanoj: The Kerala Duo Fighting Cybercrime & Saving Thousands From Hackers

Two young tech-savvy minds from Kerala have emerged as cyber-guardians for thousands. Meet T Fahad from Changaramkulam in Malappuram and A S Sanoj from Thrissur, founders of Sybex Digital, a cybersecurity startup that has become a ray of hope for victims of hacking, cyber fraud, and digital identity theft.

Launched just two years ago, Sybex Digital is now making waves across Kerala and beyond for its unique mission, like recovering hacked accounts, erasing fake profiles, restoring leaked private data, and helping people rebuild their digital lives.

In that short span, these young men and their dedicated team of 10 have recovered over 10,000 social media accounts, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and more from the clutches of cybercriminals.

While cyberattacks affect everyone, prominent personalities, politicians, celebrities, high-ranking officials, and influencers often top the target list.

Sanoj and Fahad’s client base reflects just that, ranging from social media influencers and tech industry professionals to top police officials and even film personalities. Their work also extends to ordinary people whose lives were thrown into turmoil by hackers.

These tech warriors offer more than just account recovery. They are equipped with advanced tools to:

• Retrieve deleted or stolen images.

• Take down fake profiles.

• Track down and report cyberbullies.

• Prevent misuse of personal data.

• Provide legal and technical support to hacking victims

They even aid in recovering stolen digital funds and cryptocurrency lost in online frauds—an area where many victims have little hope of justice.

Fahad, often referred to as the “unlocker of social media traps,” leads the technical operations. He works closely with Sanoj, who coordinates recovery strategies and client communication. Together, they operate not just as service providers but as digital security partners for many.

In the last year alone, over 3,000 accounts were rescued from hackers’ hands by this dynamic duo, and now it is above 10000. Their work has been so impactful that even the Kerala Police Cyber Cell and cybercrime investigators from Ernakulam and Kozhikode routinely seek their expertise.

They often don’t meet victims in person. Most of their work is done remotely; someone forwards them details of a hacked account on WhatsApp or via email, and soon after, the account is restored. A small fee is charged, but clients say it’s a small price for peace of mind.

What makes their story even more inspiring is their humble origin. Sanoj and Fahad didn’t begin with a huge infrastructure or capital.

From the towns of Thrissur and Changaramkulam, they started with a vision and deep knowledge of cybersecurity. Their startup, Sybex Digital, headquartered in Thrissur, has now become a trusted name in digital crisis recovery in Kerala.

They help law enforcement track scams, offer training for cyber trainees, and work to create awareness about digital hygiene among the public. In many ways, they are unofficial cybercrime fighters working quietly, effectively, and compassionately.

The digital age may come with dangers, but thanks to young minds like Fahad and Sanoj, thousands can now browse, post, and chat with a little more peace.
