What To Do When Your Email is Compromised
If your email is compromised, it is best to deal with the issue right away.
A hacked email account can be a headache - and a major cause for concern. No matter what your email is used for, if compromised, it's best to deal with the issue right away.
When you're first alerted to a possible intrusion, change your password for the compromised account and anything that may be associated with it - like websites you use the same password for. Continue by running a security scan on your computer or any devices that you use to access the internet to ensure it's not part of a larger security issue.
Once everything on your end is secure, reach out to your contacts and alert them to the breach. Caution them about opening any suspicious emails from your account and ensure them you made the changes to prevent it from happening again.
