Learn how to tell if your email is hacked (and what to do about it!): https://www.aura.com/learn/how-does-email-get-hacked

Hackers know the value of your email account.

Once they’re in, they can use it to gain access to your bank account, social media accounts, and more! So what should you do if you think your email account has been compromised?

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR EMAIL HAS BEEN HACKED:

1. You can’t sign into your email account
2. There are strange messages in your “sent” folder
3. You’re getting password reset emails you didn’t ask for
4. Contacts are getting messages you didn’t send (like scams!)

HOW DID YOUR EMAIL GET HACKED?

1. Phishing: Scammers use phishing attacks — emails and messages that look like they’re coming from official sources — to get you to give them your email password. Always beware of messages that want you to click on links or download attachments.

2. Public devices: Don’t forget to sign out of your email account when using a shared or public device.

3. Hacked Wi-Fi: Scammers can break into your Wi-Fi and spy on you as you enter your passwords.

4. Data Breaches: Billions of passwords and accounts have been leaked to the Dark Web in the past few years — meaning your accounts could be at risk!

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR EMAIL WAS HACKED:

- Change your password immediately
- Scan your device for malware using antivirus
- Change your email security questions to something no one can find online
- Tell your friends and family you’ve been hacked
- Start using a VPN with malware protection (like Aura!)
