Even with all of the precautions we've shown you, an internet

account may still get breached. If the worst should happen

here's what to do...









Although you can take reasonable steps to protect your data, a

company that you've signed up with may still get hacked, with you

r personal details leaking as a result. Unfortunately, there's

little you can do to prevent this from happening. Instead, it's

important that you react quickly to any breach to prevent the

problem from escalating.

Reclaim any hacked accounts

If you're locked out of an account, your first priority is to

reclaim ownership of your account. In most cases, you'll need

to contact the company directly to find out how to recover

information, as the process differs from service to service.



Most companies have an online recovery system. For example



Google's is available at www.google.com/accounts/ recovery

and Facebook's is at www.facebook.com/hacked





Change all your passwords

Do you use the same password for any other site? If you do, you need to change your passwords immediately, . Update your password for the service that has been hacked, too, and enable two-factor authentication if you can.
