It can happen to anyone. Sometimes all it takes is opening an infected email attachment or entering your email username and password into a website portal that turns out to be fake. Unfortunately, with the way digital technology works, if you're connected to the internet, you can be hacked. Here are ten steps you should take when your email account is hacked.
Even the most sophisticated security plan may not protect you from an employee that clicks on a bad hyperlink, that attempts to open a dangerous email attachment, or that allows a fake technician to remote into their computer.
