What to Do if Your Email Account Is Compromised

If you suspect a business email account has been compromised:

  1. Change the password immediately if you still have access.
  2. Sign out other active sessions where possible.
  3. Enable or review multi-factor authentication.
  4. Check forwarding rules and filters.
  5. Review recovery email/phone details.
  6. Check for suspicious sent messages.
  7. Inform relevant colleagues.
  8. Contact RapidBizz if the email service is managed by us.

If the compromised email is associated with financial transactions, notify relevant financial parties where appropriate.

Do not continue using a password that may have been exposed.
