What this guide covers

Account takeover can involve unauthorised access, impersonation, fraud and misuse of personal data. Use only official recovery pages; fraudsters often pose as support agents. A platform recovery request does not replace a cybercrime complaint where offences or financial loss are involved.

What to do now

From a clean device, change the primary email password, revoke sessions, enable multi-factor authentication and contact affected banks. Preserve compromise alerts and file a portal complaint with identifiers and loss details.

Keep these records

Keep login alerts, recovery emails, device and session list, fraudulent posts or messages, transaction records, platform tickets and cyber complaint acknowledgement.

Where to go

Use cybercrime.gov.in and the affected service's official account-recovery channel.
