What to Do When Your Gmail Account is Hacked | How To Recover Hack Gmail Account
It can be a big disaster if your Gmail
account has been compromised as it may be associated with several
services like Blogger, Analytics, Adwords, Adsense, Orkut etc. Losing
access to your Gmail account means losing access to all the services
associated it with too. Here is a list of possible recovery actions that
you can try.
Step -1: Try resetting
your password since it is the easiest way to get your account back in
action. In this process Google may ask you to answer the secret question
or may send the password reset details to the secondary email address
associated with your compromised account. You can reset you password
from the following link
If you cannot find success from the Step-1 then proceed to Step-2.
Step-2: Many times the
hacker will change the secret question and secondary email address right
after the account is compromised. This is the reason for the Password
Reset process to fail. If this is the case then you need to contact the
Gmail support team by filling out the account recovery form. This form
will ask you to fill out several questions like
1. Email addresses of up to five frequently emailed contacts2. Names of any 4 Labels that you may have created in your account
3. List of other services associated with your compromised account
4. Your last successful login date
5. Account created date
6. Last password that you remember and many more…
You need to fill out this form as
much accurately as possible. It is obvious to forget the dates of last
login, account creation and similar terms. However you need to figure
out the closest possible date/answers and fill out this form. This
is your last chance! The more accurate the information filled out in
the recovery form, the more the chances of getting your account back.
