If you have a reason to believe that your
Bigpond email account has been hacked, acting quickly and efficiently will help
you regain access to your account while ensuring that your data remains secure.
Once an email account gets hacked, it's prone to unauthorized access, identity
theft, and in some cases, loss of crucial emails. Within this context,
sensitive information must be handled only through meticulous planning and
systematic execution to ensure that you effectively accomplish the desired
objective without any unforeseen issues hiding around the corner.
The first step towards effective planning is
creating or resetting your password. For Bigpond email users, it's as simple as
navigating to the Telstra official signup page and clicking on the “forgot
password button”. Once you have completed this step, remember to follow the
additional steps that require you to enter your email address. Now it's time
for the final step – and the most important one. Create a new password that
incorporates all the aspects and criteria needed to make it strong. A password that
incorporates upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters will
perfectly suffice.
If, on the other hand, you have been locked
out of your account because the hacker altered your no longer proprietary
credentials, that's when you need to contact the Telstra support team
immediately. If you want to regain account access, it's paramount that you
provide proof that you own the account. If you are not certain, simply explain
that the details of the linked mobile phone number or the billy will do the
trick. If you do possess foresight and intend to appeal to the rational side of
your customers…the answer is yes.
Once you regain control of the account,
remember to check your email for any alterations. Unfortunately, hackers are
known for creating email forwarding rules and changing the addresses to their
own. Delete all the forwarding changes that you are unaware of and then finally
alter your phone number and recovery email address.
To avoid future hacking attempts, when
possible enable two-step verification, refrain from clicking on links in emails
that seem suspicious, and routinely modify your passwords. You should also
forward any phishing emails that claim to be from Telstra to Telstra’s security
for handling.
