What should I do if I see unusual posts on my social media accounts that I did not make?

< 1 min read

If you see unusual posts on your social media accounts that you did not make, here is a list of steps you should take:

  1. Immediately remove the post(s): Once you locate an unauthorized post, delete it from your profile.

  2. Change your password: Generate a secure, new password for the account the post was posted to, and any other related accounts that use the same password.

  3. Alert your friends and/or followers: Depending on the visibility of the post, you may want to alert your friends and/or followers about the suspicious post. This can help alert any other potential victims to take the same safety steps as you.

  4. Contact customer service: Reach out to the company who owns the social media platform. Companies typically have contact methods in place for suspicious activity on accounts.
