00:00The first thing you want to do is change passwords in all accounts possible.
00:05You don't know what the criminal already has access to.
00:07So try to change passwords everywhere.
00:10Some accounts you might already be locked out of.
00:12Don't panic in that case.
00:13There really is no stigma anymore about it.
00:16Contact the technology provider, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, whoever it is.
00:21They all are doing this thousands of times per day,
00:25helping people get back into their own accounts.
00:28That said, we should take precautions.
00:31Protect your identities through good passwords,
00:34different passwords, multi-factor authentication.
00:37Make it difficult to log into your account,
00:39so that if somebody tries, they give up and rather go somewhere else.
00:46Secondly, have copies of your important data, backups, have physical backups.
00:52And Carsten Null's third tip.
00:55If you really wanted to protect yourself, get a second SIM card
00:59with a number that nobody knows, and you would use that to recover your accounts.
