How to tell if your online accounts have been hacked
- To protect yourself from online hacking, enable multi-factor authentication on all important accounts like email, banking, and social media.
- Regularly check the activity of your online accounts to spot any unauthorized access or suspicious behavior.
- Ensure your email account is secure as it is linked to other important accounts. Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook offer tools to monitor activity and devices.
- For Google accounts, check the 'Last account activity' section to review active sessions and look for any unfamiliar activity.
- Consider turning on Google's Advanced Protection for enhanced security, especially for high-risk individuals like journalists or activists.
- Review login activity for Microsoft Outlook and LinkedIn accounts to ensure no unauthorized access.
- Apple users can check their account logins directly on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or through the iCloud app on Windows.
- Facebook and Instagram users can monitor device logins through the 'Where you're logged in' feature in settings.
- WhatsApp, Signal, Twitter, Snapchat, and Discord users can also check active sessions and log out of unrecognized devices.
