Here are some steps to help you ahead with resolving a compromised email account:
- Change your password – Creating a new, unique password will be the first step to secure your account.
- Set up two step authentication – To ensure even more security, you can also set up two-step authentication on your account.
- Check activity on your account – You can check what users have accessed your account and when the activity occurred. This will help you determine if any unauthorized access has taken place.
- Check spam folder – It’s important to check your spam/junk folders regularly, as malicious emails might have been sent from your account while it was compromised
- Scan system with antivirus software – If you suspect that your device had been subjected to a virus, you should perform a scan with an up-to-date antivirus software.
