How do I recover a hacked or compromised email account?

< 1 min read

Here are some steps to help you recover a hacked or compromised email account:


  1. Assess: the security of your account and the extent of access it has been given.
  2. Change Your Password: Create a strong, unique password with different variations for different services.
  3. Notify your contacts: Let your contacts know that your account may have been compromised, and ask that they don't click on any suspicious links sent to them.
  4. Register fraud alerts: Consider registering fraud alerts with your bank or credit agency to prevent anyone from accessing your financial information.
  5. Sign-up for two-factor authentication: This can help you protect your devices and online accounts from unauthorized access.
  6. Monitor your account activity: Monitor your account activity for unusual behavior or changes.
  7. Check for viruses: Make sure to clean your device with antivirus software.
