Answer 1

For safety on the internet, never ever give your passwords or personal information to ANYONE, not online nor offline.

If somebody asks for your personal details, it is better to refuse them.

If you find your account is hacked when you try to login, you can always click on "forgot password" which we find for most websites. Then you can change your password through your email and recovery your hacked account and set a very strong enough password. THIS THE IMMEDIATE THING YOU SHOULD DO.

Then the best thing to do is to check all the changes made in your account and delete them if you find them inappropriate to you. If your profile details are incomplete, it is easier to hack without your phone number. So fill in all the details and add extra levels of verification if you think your account is likely to get hacked again.

These are the simple things you can do to protect yourself online from various information thieves.

Why do we need safe browsing practices? 
Internet is a place which can be dangerous if we dont pay attention to the SECURITY. Only antivirus is not enough. Hackers can easily bypass the antivirus.

Now comes to your question.

If my account ever hacked on Emailing sites, Social media or on brainly, I will not be panic because I knew the security measures to recover my account. I will automatically notified by the Breach Alarm. 

Then, I will ask the following questions to myself 
1)Have I logged into my account in the past from the same device? 
2)Have I activated 2-step verification 
3)Have I set a backup email for my account 
4)Have I remembered a past password or answer any security questions 
5)Have I had a contact to the administrator, Moderators, leaders on brainly/slack

If any of these questions I will get the answer 'YES' then will surely recover my account immediately 

For the security in the future I will do the following settings in my account - - 
1)Change my old password and create a strong password with the help of the tool LastPass

2)Review my emailing and social media accounts settings and confirm the recovery mobile number, email address, and other security settings. 

3)On brainly I will change my old password and review the recovery email address. 

At last I will contact the cyber security expert /Cyber Police to take necessary actions both in present and future

Please like, comment and share this information to every brainly user so that they can secure their accounts and get help in need. 

STAY SAFE
