What is the first thing you should do if you believe someone has hacked your internet, phone, computer, etc.? Turn the device off immediately and change passwords for everything. Never allow anyone you don’t know to take control of your computer through sources like Any Desk or other programs of that nature. Never have someone calling you make you download software on your computer. You must be your first line of defense.

A woman from Waretown tonight contacted the police because she was locked out of her phone, computer, cash app, bank account, etc. and advised she had been hacked. Police responded to her home and there was no definitive evidence on scene so the caller will be obtaining additional information for a report tomorrow.
