My gmail and facebook got hacked and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do about it. Any ideas? :/

¡Pobrecita! I got that stupid email this morning & at first I was all psyched to have email from you. Damn it.

The first thing I'd do is try to change my passwords, just in case you can. Then contact FB and Gmail; they might not be able to do anything, but it's a good idea to raise the red flag.

And, I guess, get the word out here that it's not you.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

GMail can help you get your account back:

I don't know about Facebook (I'm too worried about murderous stalkers to use it a lot) but I'd be surprised if they can't do something similar.

*hugs* Definitely contact both gmail and facebook, they should both have some process for proving your ownership and getting your account back.

Aha! I suspected as much...which is why I came here to check.

I'm sorry you got hacked, but I'm glad you're not stranded in London after being mugged. ;)

::hugs::
