Security

Think your account has been hacked, or you clicked a scam link?

Treat this as urgent. The faster we act, the less damage can be done.

Signs your account may be compromised

Do this now

  1. Raise an urgent ticket: chat with us or raise a ticket and say "possible hacked account", or call us. Tell us what happened and when.
  2. If you still can, change your password at myaccount.microsoft.com. See Change your Microsoft 365 password.
  3. Deny any MFA prompts you didn't start.
  4. If you opened an attachment or ran a file, disconnect the computer from the internet (unplug the network cable or turn off Wi-Fi) and leave it switched on for us.
  5. Don't delete the suspicious email. It helps us investigate.

What we'll do

A technician will sign you out of all sessions, reset your password and MFA if needed, check for malicious inbox rules and forwarding, review recent sign-ins, and scan your computer.

If money or bank details may be involved, also contact your bank immediately.
