7 Ways To Tell If Your Gaming Account Has Been Hacked

3. Check Social Media And Email Accounts With The Same Email

The vast majority of people will sign up for a service using the same email address, which means that address is the log-in for your Playstation, Xbox, Steam, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, eBay... the list goes on. So if you're the victim of a hack, it's more than likely you'll be able to keep any eye on odd happenings across the board. Check through your social media and email accounts to see there's anything out of the ordinary; you're looking for posts you didn't make, pages you don't remember liking or accounts you haven't followed. Any discrepancies should be taken seriously because while some hackers are out to bleed you dry, others just want your details to increase their follower count or increase their audience size. Delve into your settings and see if your accounts are logged onto third-party computers or mobile devices; for example, Twitter and Facebook have options to kill the connections to these devices and make your PC or phone the only way to log in.
