TikTok hacked and the email was changed

Proof

• Old email or phone.
• The device you first used.
• Screenshots of the account.

Official route

Reference notes for this notice follow.

1. Take back the email account first. Change its password, sign out other sessions, and check forwarding rules.
2. Look for the change-alert email from the platform; many include a link to undo the change.
3. Use the platform's hacked page: instagram.com/hacked or facebook.com/hacked for Meta, Report a problem on TikTok, Snapchat Support's hacked form.
4. Secure business assets: remove unknown admins, partners and apps, and pause ads.
5. Tell friends and followers that recent messages may be fake. Call your bank about any charges.

Evidence to collect

• The original email and phone on the account.
• The device you normally use.
• Photos or videos of yourself, for a selfie check.
• Bank statements showing unknown charges.
• Change-alert emails with dates.

Wording that works

• Give the approximate time it started and what changed (email, phone, name).
• Say what you have done since: email secured, password changed.

Avoid these

• Using 'recovery' services that ask for your password or codes.
• Clicking links in messages that claim to be from the platform.
• Paying a hacker who offers to return the account.

What happens next

• Turn on two-factor with an authenticator app or passkey and save backup codes.
• Remove sessions and devices you do not recognise.
• Change passwords on other accounts that shared the same password.
• Report fraud to the police or your national fraud service if money was taken.

If the route is closed

• A Business Portfolio or ad account was taken.
• The account was disabled after the hacker used it.
• Both the email and phone were changed.

What to send

• Your username or profile link.
• A screenshot of the notice or error, with the date visible.
• Which email or phone is on the account (just which one, never a code).
• What happened before it started, in a few lines.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
