How do I know if my account has been hacked?

There are several telltale signs that your account may have been compromised:

  • Unusual login activity: You receive notifications about logins from locations you don't recognize
  • Password changes: You can't log in with your usual password and didn't change it yourself
  • Suspicious posts: Content appearing on your account that you didn't create or approve
  • Friend requests or messages: Your followers report receiving spam messages or requests from your account
  • Changed profile information: Your bio, profile picture, email, or phone number has been altered
  • Connected apps: Unknown third-party apps appear in your connected applications

If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to act immediately. Contact our team for emergency assistance available 24/7.

What should I do immediately after discovering my account is hacked?

Take these immediate actions to minimize damage:

  • Don't panic: Stay calm and act quickly but thoughtfully
  • Try to log in: If you still have access, change your password immediately
  • Check email access: Verify that the hacker hasn't changed your registered email
  • Enable two-factor authentication: If possible, secure your account with 2FA
  • Document everything: Take screenshots of suspicious activity
  • Contact M3 Agency immediately: Our expert team can begin recovery procedures within minutes
  • Warn your followers: If possible, alert them through other platforms about the compromise

Time is critical - the faster you act, the higher your chances of full recovery.

How long does the account recovery process take?

  • Simple cases (1-4 hours): Recent hacks where original email is still accessible
  • Moderate cases (4-24 hours): Changed credentials but account verification is available
  • Complex cases (24-72 hours): Complete credential changes with additional security measures
  • Critical cases (3-7 days): Business accounts or verified profiles requiring extensive documentation

Our team works around the clock to ensure the fastest possible recovery. Most cases are resolved within 24 hours with our emergency response service.
