It can be a real nightmare if someone hacks and takes control of your email account as it may contain confidential information like bank logins, credit card details and other sensitive data. If you are one such Internet user whose email account has been compromised, then this post will surely help you out. In this post you will find the possible ways and procedures to get back your hacked email account.
FOR GMAIL:
It can be a big disaster
if your Gmail account has been compromised as it may be associated
with several services like Blogger, Analytics, Adwords, Adsense, Orkut
etc. Losing access to your Gmail account means losing access to all the
services associated it with too. Here is a list of possible recovery actions
that you can try.
Step -1: Try resetting
your password since it is the easiest way to get your account back in action.
In this process Google may ask you to answer the secret question or
may send the password reset details to the secondary email
address associated with your compromised account. You can reset you
password from the following link
If you cannot find
success from the Step-1 then proceed to Step-2.
Step-2: Many
times the hacker will change the secret question and secondary email
address right after the account is compromised. This is the
reason for the Password Reset process to fail. If this is the case
then you need to contact the Gmail support team by filling out the account
recovery form. This form will ask you to fill out several questions like
1. Email addresses of
up to five frequently emailed contacts
2. Names of any 4 Labels that you may have created in your account
3. List of other services associated with your compromised account
4. Your last successful login date
5. Account created date
6. Last password that you remember and many more…
2. Names of any 4 Labels that you may have created in your account
3. List of other services associated with your compromised account
4. Your last successful login date
5. Account created date
6. Last password that you remember and many more…
You
need to fill out this form as much accurately as possible. It is
obvious to forget the dates of last login, account creation and similar
terms. However you need to figure out the closest possible date/answers and
fill out this form. This is your last chance! The more accurate the
information filled out in the recovery form, the more the chances of
getting your account back. You may reach the account recovery page form the
following link
FOR YAHOO
AND HOTMAIL:
Unfortunately
for Yahoo/Hotmail there is no second option like filling out the form or
contacting the support team. All you need to do is either answer the secret
questions that you have setup or reset the password using the secondary
email option.
To
initiate the password reset process just click on the Forgot password link in
your login page and proceed as per the screen instructions.
