What to Do If Your Computer Is Hacked

In a world where there is a cyber attack every 39 seconds, it’s paramount to know what to do if your computer is hacked. Cybercriminals are getting craftier by the day, and you need to know what actions to take if the worst comes to worst.
Well, we’re going to show you exactly how to do just that. Plus, we’ll also discuss how to know if your computer is hacked, so that you don’t make any rash decisions.
How to Know If Your Computer Is Hacked – 12 Signs
1. You Can’t Access Your OS
True, one of the main reasons you might not be able to log into your operating systems is hardware failure or OS-related issues. But we’re not talking about that. In that case, your computer will generally keep restarting, or you’ll be booted into your OS’ Safe Mode instead.
What we’re referring to is getting a message that outright tells you your OS is locked down, and you won’t be able to access your files. You’ll be told to send a certain amount of money (a few hundred $ or more) to a cryptocurrency wallet address (usually a Bitcoin one), or a PayPal address. The message will state that if you don’t send the money in a certain amount of time, all your data will be wiped.
Sometimes, you might even be able to log into your OS, and see your computer’s desktop. But you won’t be able to do anything on it other than interact with the files left by the hacker, and see the new desktop background photo, which would normally be the message mentioned above.
If you’re in that situation, there’s no doubt that your computer has been hacked. Specifically, it was infected with ransomware – a type of malware that holds your data hostage until you pay up. To find out what you should do in such a scenario, skip to the “What to Do If your Computer Is Hacked With Ransomware” section below.
2. You See a Fake Antivirus/Antimalware Message
While this tactic is no longer as widely used by hackers as it was before, it’s still a sure sign that your computer has been compromised. In fact, the moment you see such a notification on your computer, it’s already too late since the infection has already spread to your OS.
Why do hackers bother with these notifications, then? Well, these fake messages are just the cybercriminal’s attempt at installing even more malware on your device. Alternatively, they might try to trick you into paying money for their “solution.” If you do that, not only will you waste money, but you’ll also have your credit card details stolen.
How do you know the antivirus/antimalware message is fake? Well, the best way to spot the differences is to know what your antivirus/antimalware provider’s notifications and messages normally look like. However, here are some signs that might give the fake message away:
You get spammed with messages telling you
8. Your Contacts Receive Spammy Messages/Emails from You
If your friends, family, or work contacts are asking you about weird messages they received from your email address and/or social media profiles, it’s safe to say you’ve been hacked. The messages might contain shorten, shady links, pornographic content, or might outright ask your contacts to share sensitive information, which will be swiftly stolen.
