What to do if your office 365 is hacked

If you suspect that your Office 365 account has been hacked, there are several steps you can take to protect your account and data:

Change your password immediately

Change your Office 365 password to a strong and unique one. Don’t reuse old passwords or use easily guessable passwords like “password123”.

Enable two-factor authentication

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account, if you haven’t already. 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a code from your phone or other device in addition to your password to log in.

Check for suspicious activity

Review your account activity and check for any suspicious activity, such as unusual login locations, sent emails, or deleted files.

Contact Microsoft support

If you suspect that your account has been hacked or compromised, contact Microsoft support as soon as possible. They can help you secure your account and investigate any potential breaches.

Update your antivirus software

Ensure that your antivirus software is up to date and run a full system scan to check for any malware or viruses that may be on your computer.

Educate yourself

Educate yourself about common hacking techniques and security best practices to reduce the risk of future attacks. This may include using strong passwords, avoiding suspicious links or downloads, and staying vigilant about phishing scams.
