See If You Were Hacked
What to Do If You're Hacked?
If you are sure you have been hacked, experts suggest the following steps:
- Change passwords on all online accounts to which you still have access, securing them quickly with a new unique password;
- Secure your main email account, change the password, implement a recovery email and enable Two-Factor Authentication;
- Inform your friends and family members you have been hacked to ensure they are not, in turn, scammed by the hackers now pretending to be you;
- Perform an assessment of which accounts have been hacked and what information the hackers have received about you and/or your network;
- Do not create a new profile or account on the same platform upon which you were hacked using the same credentials (e.g., the same email address or phone number);
- Never pay a ransom, unless advised to do so by law enforcement. If hackers approach you and ask for a ransom, contact local law enforcement, file a police report and consider retaining a third party who can talk to the hackers. Do not otherwise directly involve yourself. Most hackers are in it for the money; as soon as they understand you won’t give them money, they will oftentimes leave you alone and move on to their next victims.
And Then What?
Once you have an overview of the situation and have secured your online accounts, try to recover your hacked accounts. For example, check your emails and see if you can find security alerts from the service to which you’ve lost access. Some companies and services offer the option of resetting recent changes to your account. As such, try to reset your hacked account’s password, using both email and SMS options where applicable. If that doesn’t help, visit the service’s help portal to report the hacked account.
Contact the service directly if it offers a telephone number or support email address. Finally, consider using any one or more of the numerous paid services that can assist you in determining whether your sensitive information has been accessed in a data breach. You should not wait to get a letter regarding a data breach to check if your information is vulnerable. You probably won’t get one.
