Best Steps After Account Takeover for Victims
Best steps after account takeover: contain access, preserve proof, alert institutions, and build a timeline for a credible fraud response without delay.
Change the credentials you still control, and record the logins, transfers, and messages you did not make. Ask the platform to preserve the session and withdrawal history.
A timeline of what changed, and who was told, is the record a later notice needs. Containing the account comes before any argument about a refund.
