How To Regain Access To Your Hacked Newegg Account

Newegg was in the news in 2018 after a data breach wherein customer credit card information was stolen. However, these large-scale breaches aren't the only danger you face with your online accounts. Smaller attacks may go unreported by the news and undetected by the company, so it's up to you to stay diligent about what's going on with your accounts.

If you notice suspicious activity, you may need to reset your password. In some cases, you could find yourself locked out of your account altogether. It's stressful and frightening as you consider what the hackers could be doing with your information, and you have to monitor your bank account and credit cards to ensure there are no unauthorized purchases. You may even prefer to cancel your credit card to ease your mind, though that can be an inconvenience as you wait for a new card.

The process of recovering a stolen account can be time-consuming as you wait for the company to offer a resolution. Fortunately, DoNotPay can help you speed up the process by putting pressure on the company to get you back into your account.

Signs Your Account Has Been Hacked

With an eCommerce site like Newegg, there are a few indications your account has been hacked:

• Your password doesn't work
• You're unable to reset your password
• You get an email notification about a password change or an order you didn't place

What to Do If Your Newegg Account Has Been Hacked

The first step is to change your password, in hopes the hacker hasn't already done so. To change your Newegg password, follow these instructions:

1. Login and go to Account Settings
2. Edit the Password section
3. Save your changes

If you can't log in, you can try to reset your password:

1. Go to the Sign in Assistance page
2. Enter the email address associated with your account
3. A verification code, which expires in five minutes, will be sent to your email
4. Use the code and follow the instructions to reset your password

Unfortunately, the hackers may have already reset your password and changed the email address associated with your account, so you may not be able to get back in that way. When you identify suspicious behavior in your account, you should contact Newegg to report it:

1. Visit this page to report unauthorized purchases
2. Enter the required information about the incident, including your Newegg account number, date and amount of the unauthorized transaction, and additional details about the incident
3. Click "Submit"

Then you have to wait for Newegg to address your concerns. In the meantime, you should report the unauthorized transaction to your bank or credit card company, try to stop the payment, and cancel the card. It's a hassle, but there's a way to get some answers more quickly to reduce your stress and recover your hacked Newegg account. DoNotPay can help.
