If you receive a suspicious email from a friend’s hacked account, here are some steps to take:

1. Verify that the email actually came from your friend. You can do this by checking the email sender’s address.
2. Do not follow any links that are included within a suspicious email.
3. Should you see any attachments, do not download and open them until you have verified the authenticity of the email.
4. If you think the email may be the result of an unauthorized access, contact your friend directly to confirm the email.
5. Lastly, if the email is in fact from your friend’s hacked account, it is best practice to alert the account provider so they may assist with addressing the issue.
