It sounds like your computer and email account may have been compromised. If you suspect that someone has gained unauthorized access to your devices and is tracking your online activity, here are some steps you can take to secure your accounts and devices:
- Disconnect from the Internet: Disconnect your device from the internet to prevent further access by the hacker.
- Run Antivirus Scans: Use a reputable antivirus program to run a full scan on your computer and any other devices you use to access your email. Ensure that your antivirus software is up-to-date.
- Change Your Passwords: Immediately change the passwords for your email and any other accounts that may be compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for each account.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication: If you regain access to your accounts, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security.
- Check Account Activity: Review your email account activity for any unauthorized changes or suspicious messages. Look for any rules that may have been set up to forward your emails without your knowledge.
- Inform Your Contacts: Notify your contacts that your email may have been compromised, so they can be cautious of any suspicious messages that may come from your account.
- Contact Support: If you continue to have issues or cannot regain access, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for assistance with recovering your account and securing it against further attacks.
Taking these steps can help you regain control of your accounts and protect your personal information from further unauthorized access.
