If you notice unfamiliar activity on your Google Account, Gmail, or other Google products, someone else might be using it without your permission. If you think your Google Account or Gmail have been hacked, follow the steps below to help spot suspicious activity, get back into your account, and make it more secure.

The site is secure.
The ensures that you are connecting to the official website and that any information you provide is encrypted and transmitted securely.

Your email account is an important part of protecting your personal information online. Why? Say you forget your account password and use the password reset feature to get a new one. You get an email with a password reset link, click on it, and change your account password. All in a matter of minutes.

Now, imagine if someone hacked your email account. They could request a password reset link for any of your other accounts, get the password reset link from your inbox, change your password, and lock you out of the account.

Before we can help you with your hacked Activision account, please select My account was hacked below. From there, we will ask you to provide additional details to help us recover your hacked Activision account.

Since you're unable to log in to the account you need help with, you will need to create a temporary Activision account to submit an account recovery request. You will also need to link a PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or Battle.net account that was previously linked to your hacked Activision account.

I have been a member of Dropbox since the original days of free membership. I have posted a request of changing the email that I have owned to the support center with no response. My account was hacked and the email I had for it changed. Please contact me at [removed] for any contact or email change re directs from the original account email: [removed] to the hackers email: [removed]. Again do not contact me at the original email for it has been compromised, contact me via the Gmail above. Thabk you.

You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

We also advise enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to enhance your account security by adding a two-step verification system. This makes your account almost unhackable. We recommend using an authentication app such as Google Authenticator over SMS codes.

If a hacker has changed your Facebook account password and the associated email, you might think all hope is lost. However, there are still ways to retrieve your Facebook account. Even if the hacker has added a Two-Factor Authenticator or your account has been disabled, you can still recover your Facebook profile.

Please see my comments below. However did you ever get access back to your account? The support we are getting (or lack thereof) is appalling. I have reached out via LinkedIn to the Head of Customer Support in ANZ and provided 80 pages of email and correspondence between AWS and ourselves. AWS say its fixed but its not and they have taken it upon themselves to close the ticket. Seriously. WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

I recently have the same issue.April 11, 2023 5:14AM My time. I recieved an email saying that AWS has detected an unusual log in activity.April 11, 2023 5:16AM My time. I recieved an email saying that my account email was changed to be new weird email.

We have had the same issue here. There are 3 people in the world who have access with an extremely complex password that is not recorded anywhere and yet the Email address attached to our account was changed without our consent or knowledge. So how could anyone break the user name and complex passwords?

When I ask AWS this we get nothing. We are a very security conscious organization with procedures in place for password protection. As I said the account details are not recorded anywhere except with AWS. And noting some other posts on various forums are saying the same thing occurred with them on the same day. Possible security breach AWS?

Now we have been locked out for 5 days with all services down and bluntly nothing but lip service from AWS. They run around like headless chooks and al you get is "stock standard responses" without any real action occurring. So far my bill from my client is $48,000 for the SLA we have in place. At the rate this is going and lack of genuine concern (Other than stock standard replies) it will take weeks to fix.

Appalling behavior without consequence. Well AWS, 2 people have already been laid off 7 days before Xmas because you can't bother to fix this. A business is about to lose everything because you refuse to deal with this promptly and efficiently.

I should also point out that as our mail server was hosted on our account and hacked we did not have access to the account email so they refused to answer despite providing both legal information and a Stat Dec to prove our identity. We were then forced to quickly build a new mail server (on Azure) and recreate our accounts just so they would listen to us. Again more money out the door.

With the AWS system it appears easier to hack the solution than prove you are the actual owner. It is shame they did not take the question of changing email addresses and password as seriously as they do to prove you actually own the account!

I have the same problem, almost a month ago, I already filled out the form, I've exchanged more than 30 emails with support and they can't solve my problem, I've never seen such bad support in my life. Please someone help me.I had to create another account putting another credit card, to be able to write in this topic. And I'm afraid they'll clone this account too. What a sad service you guys provide with support.

Hi,i receive the mail "Your Amazon Web Services Account Email Has Been Updated" but i don't ask to change my mail!! My account is hacked! I just provide to lock the credit card assocatiated to my aws account. I write to support 2 times but i don't receive any feedback.Plese provide to restore the correct account acccess with temporary password.

It all started with mail received from Amazon web Services with Subject "Your AWS account compromise". I simply ignored bearing rhe fact that, I am not using the account from last 4 years and thought it might be a spam/phising mail. At the start of next month, I received another mail with bill amount $87.41 approximately 263790.24 INR. When i tried to login I found my password goy changed along with MFA mobile number. Thats raises a question, AWS mfa is as good as account without MFA. I raised support ticket and aws team disabled MFA temporarily and asked me to reset my password and try. Thankfully able to login again to see, unauthorized resources been triggered (ECS containers in 3 different regions) which costed this heft bill amount. From cludwatch taril logs it is quite evident that it was via root account ( question is AWS root account is not secure with MFA then what other security option one is having). I replied to support case after deleting all unauthorised resources. Support team insisting me to add payment method since my credit card trough which I registered my account expired (Question is luckily it got expired else the unknown aws hacker might have debited amount from my credit card). In every reply they forcing me to add payment method to keep my account active and assist further and then settling the bill amount. Luckily, there system not allowing me to add update credit/debit card but only netbanking with few registered bank. I added the same. The response was shocking, you either to to edit the payment method and match existing one. Trust me - you peole understand it yourself who is the culprit.

I am in exactly the same situation as Daniele. My account has been hacked and the email address associated with it has been changed. The support team is not able to help me, and they don't even seem to understand the situation. I have opened at least 10 tickets regarding this issue.

I recommend refraining from creating additional cases to prevent any confusion or delay in receiving assistance. Our Support team has the proper tools to help recover your account. They will also be able to assist with any account or billing questions you may have.

If you do not have access to the account, then please create a NEW account and open a ticket to AWS Support using Support Center, referencing the account that was compromised and providing the e-mail address that was compromised.
