Items stolen thru hijack or scam are not returned.

If your authenticator is taken off then your email is not secure. If your password is changed then they have access to your email.

Make sure that the hijacker did not link a facebook or other outside links to your account. if they did they can bypass any authenticator you have added etc.

Make sure to scan computer etc before you start changing passwords and such. The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

EvelynnnUwU,

please work through the full security review instructions here: Security tips

When an account is hijacked, you have to accept the damage that has been done and move forward from there. Just do a security review and make sure it can never happen again .
