What to do if your email is compromised
Data breaches can leave your sensitive information in the wrong hands, with leaked passwords, financial details, or personal data ending up on the dark web for cybercriminals to exploit. Follow these steps to help secure your identity:
Step 1
Get identity theft protection
LifeLock Identity Advisor offers dark web monitoring, alerts for potential signs of identity theft, and recovery support from a U.S.-based personal restoration specialist.
Step 2
Scan your devices for malware
Use antivirus software to find and remove viruses or other malware lurking on your devices, helping protect your personal data from hackers and cybercriminals.
Step 3
Update your account security
Create unique, strong passwords for all of your accounts, and set up multi-factor authentication to help protect against hacking attempts in the future.
Get alerts of potential data leak threats
LifeLock Identity Advisor scans deeper than easily accessible websites. It looks for your personal information in the dark web and other hard-to-reach corners of the internet. We’ll notify you if we find that your data is exposed so you can upgrade your cyber security and protect against fraud.
Why is your email valuable to hackers?
Your email account probably contains a wealth of hidden personal information, including addresses, phone numbers, financial information, and even your Social Security number. Hackers can use this data to commit fraud or identity theft, leak or sell it on the dark web, or create convincing scams targeting you or your contacts.
How do email accounts get hacked or compromised?
Your email could be compromised in a data breach along with many other people's. But you could also be targeted in an individual attack: hackers and scammers may try to use phishing techniques to trick you into revealing sensitive information. Other attack vectors include harmful malware, spyware to capture your login credentials, or brute force methods to crack your password.
What are the main signs your data has been exposed?
Signs that your email has been hacked or your personal data exposed include being locked out of accounts, getting random alerts of login attempts or account activity, suddenly receiving more spam texts or emails, and noticing changes to your settings. If you spot any of these signs, run a scan for your personal information online and take steps to protect yourself.
Compromised passwords and hacked emails make you vulnerable to identity theft. Get protection.
