Account hacked? Start here

Use the service’s dedicated hacked-account flow (linked in each guide below) — not just password reset, which often emails the attacker. If you still have access: change the password NOW and sign out all other sessions.

Whatever else was hacked, check your email account before anything else — it receives everyone’s password resets. If the attacker holds your inbox, they can take back every account you "recover".

If a card, bank, or balance is attached: freeze the card in the banking app, report unauthorized transactions to the service AND the bank, and screenshot everything. Speed lowers your liability for unauthorized electronic transfers. For bank-account takeovers, call the number on the back of your card — never a number from a search ad.

Phone suddenly on "No service" while accounts fall one by one? An attacker may have moved your number to their SIM to intercept your codes. Call your carrier from another phone immediately — see our AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile guides below.

Attackers monetize stolen accounts by scamming your contacts in your name. One message on another channel ("ignore anything I ‘sent’ today") protects your friends and documents the compromise for appeals.

Most takeovers start with a password leaked in an old breach and reused. Check your email against known breach databases — free, below — then fix every account sharing that password.
