What Do I Do If My Account Has Been Compromised?
I think I just got scammed. What should I do?
Reset your password for your email and all other accounts.
Make a police report at your nearest police station or online.
Submit a ticket to Coinhako about the suspicious transaction, along with the police report.
How can I protect myself from scams?
Never disclose your personal information, including your email address, banking information, and passwords.
Avoid storing your credit/debit card information on your computer.
Do not save your password on your browser.
Check your bank/credit card statements regularly.
Be wary of any suspicious requests/promotions/deals, such as:
Password requests: Coinhako will never ask you for your password.
High returns promotions/deals: If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Suspicious links/landing pages: Always log in via the Coinhako app/website.
How can I protect my account from getting hacked?
When using public WiFi, do not access financial or personal information.
Ensure that the websites you visit are secure and trusted.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your accounts for maximum security.
Verify that links and attachments are from legitimate and trustworthy sources before opening them.
Do not use important dates, easily-accessible personal information in your password (e.g. your first name or birthday)
Use a strong password for your accounts — you may use a password generator, which helps you churn out a long string of alphanumeric characters.
Do not download third-party software from unknown sources/at a stranger’s request.
