Account takeover
In Turkish: Hesabın ele geçirilmesi
Someone else gets into your account and uses it as if they were you, often locking you out in the process.
It usually starts with a stolen or reused password, a phishing page or a code someone talked you into reading out. Once inside, the attacker may change the password and recovery details, message your contacts or try to reach your money.
Act fast and from a trusted device: open the real site yourself, reset the password, sign out other devices, check the recovery settings, and tell your contacts if messages went out in your name.
What to do
- Reset the password from the real site, not from a link in a message.
- Sign out all other devices and review recovery email and number.
- Change the same password anywhere else you used it.
