Mera social media ya email account hack ho gaya hai.

Real-life examples

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1. 1Sirf platform ka official 'forgot password' ya 'hacked account' page use karo. Recover karne ka offer dene wale kisi ko paise mat do.
2. 2Account wapas milte hi password badlo (aur jahan wahi password tha wahan bhi), two-step verification on karo aur baaki saare devices se log out karo.
3. 3Anjaan phone numbers, emails aur linked apps hatao, aur check karo ki koi email forwarding rule toh nahi jo aapne nahi banaya.
4. 4Contacts ko batao ki links par click na karein aur paise na bhejein. Agar bank ya UPI is account se juda hai, toh bank ko batao.
5. 5Screenshots aur platform ke 'password changed' emails ke saath cybercrime.gov.in par complaint karo. Kisi ka paisa gaya ho toh 1930 par call karo.
6. 6Nuksaan ka compensation chahiye toh IT Act Section 43 ke under state ke Adjudicating Officer ke paas claim ke baare mein lawyer se poochho.
