Sono sotto attaccoReport

What is happening to you?

My website, my accounts or my phone are under attack

Cyberattacks are often part of the same campaign: threats to knock a site offline, attempts to get into your accounts, stolen profiles used to spread more content. They are often bluffs meant to frighten, but it is wise to protect yourself right away.

How to recognise it

  • They write that they know your server’s address or are about to attack the site.
  • You receive login codes you did not ask for, or sign-in alerts from unknown devices.
  • The phone behaves strangely, or someone knows things you only said on the phone.

What to do

  1. Accounts: turn on two-step verification with an app, not SMS, sign out of sessions you do not recognise and change your passwords.
  2. Telegram and WhatsApp: turn on two-step verification, hide your number and check the linked devices.
  3. Website: put it behind a protection service such as Cloudflare and make sure the server cannot be reached directly. Often the address they claim to have is just the protection service’s.
  4. Keep the site logs and sign-in alerts: you will need them for the complaint.
  5. If you think your phone is being spied on, follow the Coalition Against Stalkerware guide before deleting anything.

What to avoid

  • Do not reply to the threats and do not attack back.
