Hello. How Can We Help?
So it happened, your device has been hacked or you entered login credentials or sensitive data on a phishing website. While you can’t make it undone, you must take remedial action as soon as possible, by doing the following:
- Take the potentially infected device off the internet.
- Change your password immediately.
- If you’ve entered any personal information, you should change these details as soon as possible from an uncompromised machine. This will apply to all online accounts such as email, social media and banking.
- Scan system for malware with anti-virus software (this can be done when your device is offline).
- Use a service like https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if your email address and other information is exposed.
- If needed, get professional help to recover your device.
- If you actually got scammed, please report this to your local authorities.
