Cyber Conduct

I think I've been hacked.

Don't panic. Start with the steps below.

What happened?

General recovery flow

Not every platform works exactly the same way, but this order generally applies.

1

Secure the account

Change the password immediately, from a device you trust.

2

Change the password

Use a long, unique password — not one you've used elsewhere.

3

Enable MFA

Turn on multi-factor authentication if it isn't already on.

4

Check active sessions

Log out any devices or sessions you don't recognise.

5

Check recovery information

Confirm your recovery email and phone number are still yours.

6

Review account activity

Look for changes, messages, or purchases you didn't make.

7

Warn contacts if necessary

Let close contacts know, in case the account was used against them.

8

Contact the service provider if necessary

If you can't regain access yourself, use official support.
