How to deal with someone impersonating you online?

Postby Voorhees » Thu Dec 22, 2016 9:20 pm

Maybe this is the wrong forum for this, but wasn't sure where else to turn. The situation is getting out of control. Someone managed to hack my e-mail account and managed to hack my other online accounts (like Facebook and elsewhere; they may have even impersonated me here for all I know) as a result and are not only making me look bad, but taking things a step further and getting me in hot water with my family members and college professors. I have no idea who this person is or why they are doing this. What should I do?

If there is a method of account recovery, do it. Otherwise contact the companies in question. Once you regain control of your accounts send out a brief mass message explaining that your account has been hacked for the past [X] days.

Alright. Thanks for the feedback. I'll get onto it.
