How To Counter A Hack by san316(m): 7:42am On Feb 10, 2016
Hello geeky geeks

Please I need your help. Some scammers sent me a link in the form of an attachment. I mistakenly opened it meaning I have exposed my phone to them.

I don't have money in my bank account just yet but I want to know how I can prevent them from hacking my account. My salary will be paid soon and I may be exposed.

Please help.

Did you open the link with your phone ?
If yes, did it install an app on it?

If you did, un install the app, or else nothing to fear. It's not that easy to steal bank info via mail

Opening a link doesn't mean you are exposed to hacking or they have gained access to your account.
How do you conclude that you have expose your phone to them.
Give more details here.
Did you open the link with you phone?
If yes, clear your browser cache,cookies,and everything clearable.
If you perform further action after opening the link in a browser, then tell us.

Use a virus free phone/computer and change all your passwords.

Then don't login in to anything using that phone until you are sure the phone has been sterilized.
