CYBER SENSE ALERT: How to Know If You've Been Hacked
Hackers often work in secret. Here are the quiet signs an intruder is in your accounts.
The 3 Key Signs to Look For
CHECK YOUR LOGIN HISTORY
Go to Security settings in email/social/bank apps. Look for "Login Activity." Unrecognized device or location? Red flag.
LOOK FOR MYSTERY ACTIVITY
Strange sent emails, social posts you didn't make, password reset emails you didn't request, tiny unfamiliar bank charges.
LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS
If contacts ask "Did you send me this link?" they've caught the hacker for you. Thank them and act fast!
What to Do RIGHT NOW If You See a Sign
- 🔐 Change your password on the affected account.
- 📱 Turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA/MFA) immediately.
- 📞 For financial fraud, call your bank's fraud line.
Bottom Line: Be a detective in your own digital life. Regular check-ups catch intruders.
