🕵️ 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 your account Security settings (in email, social media, bank apps). Look for “Login Activity.” See a device or location you don’t recognize? That’s a major red flag.
LOOK FOR MYSTERY ACTIVITY.
Strange sent emails you didn't write.
Social media posts or follows you didn’t make.
Password reset emails you didn't request.
Tiny, unfamiliar charges on your bank statement (even for $1).
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.
