3 Immediate Steps to Take If You Suspect Your Email Has Been Hacked

Discovering your email has been compromised is a stressful experience. Your email is the key to your digital life. Before panic sets in, follow these three critical steps to regain control and assess the damage.

Step 1: Contain the Breach (Immediately)Change your password to a strong, unique one you have never used before. Immediately enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) if it isn't already. This locks the attacker out.

Step 2: Conduct Damage AssessmentCheck your "Sent" folder and "Trash" for any emails you didn't send. Scan for rules that automatically forward your emails to an unknown address. Check linked accounts (especially social media and financial) for password reset requests.

Step 3: Warn Your Contacts & Secure Other AccountsIf the hacker sent emails from your account, inform your contact list to ignore any suspicious messages. Change the passwords on other critical accounts, especially those that use the same or a similar password.

When to Call a Professional:If you see evidence of financial fraud, identity theft, or if the breach is related to a business account, these DIY steps are not enough. You need professional digital forensics to understand the scope of the breach and ensure all backdoors are closed.
