If you believe you have been hacked, there are a few steps you should take:

  1. Immediately change your passwords for any online accounts that you think may have been compromised. This includes email, social media, and any other accounts where you have stored sensitive information.
  2. Scan your computer for malware and viruses. If you find any, delete them immediately.
  3. Notify your bank and any other financial institutions that you use of the situation. They will be able to take steps to protect your account and your money.
  4. Contact the credit bureau and place a fraud alert on your credit report. This will help to protect you from identity theft.
  5. Keep a close eye on your accounts and watch for any suspicious activity. If you see anything, report it to the appropriate authorities immediately.
