Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Let’s dive into the world of online security and discover how to keep our accounts safe from hackers.
Hackers are now targeting everyday people, aiming to access your bank details, steal cryptocurrencies, or even invade your privacy. But don’t panic—these incidents are still quite rare.
Firstly, if you think someone might have accessed your accounts (like email or social media), remember to take action. Most platforms provide tools to help you regain control and report any suspicious activity.
Many companies, including Google, Facebook, and others, have updated their security checks regularly. This means they offer more ways to check if your account has been compromised and how to manage its security.
In case of uncertainty, contacting a professional might be your best option—especially if you are in a high-risk situation, such as being a journalist or facing personal threats.
