Account Takeover Attack
An account takeover attack is when someone tries to steal your information and take over your online accounts. This can be done by guessing your password, installing malware on your device, or tricking you into giving away your login information.
Once the attacker gains access to your account, they can do all sorts of things like stealing your personal information, sending harmful messages to your contacts, or even using your account to make fraudulent purchases.
To prevent an account takeover attack, it’s important to use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication on your accounts. Additionally, always be cautious when clicking links or downloading attachments from unfamiliar sources, as these can contain malware that can compromise your account security.
