Account hacked or cannot log in: recover it and report the scam (Ireland)
Checked on
You cannot log in to your account, or you see unauthorized activity. This page helps you tell if you are locked out due to your own setup or if the service is down for many others. It also tells you what to do right away and how to report fraud.
Locked out, or really hacked?
Check this site to see how many people report problems with the same service right now. The service page shows a status from reports over the past 24 hours. If others report the same service at the time you tried to sign in, the issue may be on their side, not yours.
Our service page links to the official status page when we found it. Some services tell their users about outages there.
If few reports appear on our site, do not assume the service is fine. It only means no recent reports came in. The problem you face could be new and not yet known to many, or tied to your network.
What to do right away
Visit the official help page of the service. We link to it from our service page. Look there for the steps the service itself gives.
Try signing in from another device. If it works from one but fails from another, your issue may be tied to that device or connection. If it fails from everywhere, the problem may be broader.
Report the issue on our service page. You can report once per hour. Your report helps others see if this is a widespread issue.
If you got an unexpected money request from someone, reach out to them and ask to confirm. A hacker may have taken control of their account.
Who can confirm a problem, and how to reach the service
The official status page is where the service itself publishes information about outages. The official help pages are the place to look for the service's own recovery steps.
Remember: our reports are unofficial and come from visitors, not the service itself. When you are uncertain, check what the service communicates directly.
Report the scam
If your bank account or any financial account was used without your approval, contact your bank or financial institution right away. Tell them your account may be compromised. Acting now limits your loss.
