A:
If you believe someone has hacked your mobile and stolen your username, it’s important to take immediate action. Start by changing your passwords on all of your accounts, including email, social media, and any services linked to your phone. Use a strong, unique password for each account to reduce further risk.
Next, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all important accounts. This adds an extra layer of protection and makes it harder for someone to access your accounts without your approval. If your phone or account settings have been tampered with, consider performing a factory reset on your mobile device after backing up important data.
Finally, you might want to contact your mobile service provider or law enforcement to report the hack. They may be able to offer additional support in protecting your personal information and identity. Stay cautious and monitor your accounts for any unusual activity.
