When an account is compromised, speed matters, but so does order. Report through the official platform, secure the recovery chain, and save evidence before deleting messages or resetting everything. This page is the reporting hub for hacked, impersonated, locked, or fraud-used accounts.

Evidence checklist
Save login alerts, recovery-email changes, phone-number changes, device names, IP or location notices, suspicious messages, profile edits, payment receipts, ad activity, support-ticket numbers, and dates. If the account belongs to a company, preserve records before cleaning up because legal, insurance, HR, or customer-notice questions may follow.
Secure the recovery chain
After reporting, check the linked email, phone number, carrier account, password manager, authenticator app, and trusted devices. Attackers often keep access through forwarding rules, OAuth apps, backup codes, device sessions, or a compromised SIM.
When to escalate
Escalate beyond self-service if the account controls revenue, ads, payroll, client data, administrator rights, legal evidence, or payment accounts. You may also need escalation if impersonation is harming customers or contacts.
For step-by-step recovery, use How to Get a Hacked Account Back. If you need paid authorized help, review Hire a Hacker to Recover an Account. If the issue is a broader incident, compare the Digital Forensic Investigation Retainer.
What to avoid while reporting
Do not pay anonymous recovery accounts in comments or DMs. Do not share verification codes. Do not delete scam messages before saving evidence. Do not ask anyone to break into another account, even if you believe that person is the attacker.
FAQ
Where should I report a compromised account?
Use the official hacked-account or account-recovery page for the affected platform. The table above lists the safest starting points.
Should I report identity theft separately?
If personal information, tax records, credit, banking, or government benefits are involved in the United States, use IdentityTheft.gov and consider IC3 for internet fraud.
What if I still have access to the account?
Change the password from a trusted device, turn on MFA, revoke unknown sessions, remove suspicious apps, and preserve evidence.
What if the attacker messaged my contacts?
Warn contacts from a separate trusted channel and tell them not to send money, click links, or share codes.
Can Hacker01 file reports for me?
Hacker01 can help organize evidence and recovery steps for authorized cases, but platform reports usually require the account owner or authorized admin to submit information.
