3 Things To Do If Your Email Account Was Hacked
TIP1:
Change your password right away.
Hacking is in the news almost every day, but the danger is still the same. Choose a new password, and make sure it isn't one of these.
TIP 2:
Switch up log-in credentials for any account with the same password.
This point is especially true if you used the compromised Yahoo email address as your username, The Washington Post noted. Even a similar email address may not beafe; after all, "it's not a big leap for hackers to think that you may be both jdoe@yahoo.com and jdoe@gmail.com."
TIP 3:
Watch for spam.
The hackers job is togather names and email addresses most recently contacted by the compromised accounts, therefore if you get a fishy email from someone you don't know, it could be spam. Don't open it, don't reply to it and definitely don't click any links in the message.
