Read on to learn more about how to recover your hacked Postmates account and how DoNotPay can make the process fast and efficient.

What to Do If Attackers Hacked Your Postmates Account

Any online account is at risk of illegitimate access by cybercriminals. These crooks can even compromise financial accounts such as bank and Paypal accounts. If you suspect your Postmates account has been hacked, do the following:

Change Your Password

Try to reset your password through the following process:

1. Go to the Eats app menu and select “Help”
2. Select 'More' under “'Account and Payment Options”
3. Choose 'I forgot my “password”
4. Create your new and unique password

Use Tools from Chrome

You can install Google Browser's Password Checkup Feature to automatically check your passwords for security problems. It can inform you if cybercriminals are reusing your password across different sites.

How to Tell If Your Postmates Account Was Hacked

You may suspect that you have been hacked, but how do you prove that indeed it is a security breach? Try the following:

1. Signing in to Your Account

You can log out of the account on your device and try to sign in with your details. Cybercriminals may change your login information so they can sell your account to an unsuspecting client. However, even if you can still login into the account does not mean you are safe. The hackers may have access but are yet to change the account details.

2. Checking for Suspicious Activity

Can you remember your last activities in your Postmates account? Go to the history section and see whether the history list matches your previous activities. Some suspicious activity you may check include:

• Order requests you didn't make
• Completed orders you didn't request
• Account changes you didn't make
• Text messages or phone calls from delivery people you didn't make
• Receipts for orders you didn't request

3. Check Whether You’ve Been “Pwned”

You can check your email address or username in Have I Been Pwned to confirm whether your logins are safe. The site runs a query over publicly available databases to see if someone has stolen your details.

This site is credible, with major institutions, including governments using it to check if their accounts are safe.

What to Do If Your Postmates Account Username/Password Has Been Changed

If bad actors have changed your Postmates account's username or password, it means they have full control over your account.

Luckily, Postmates offers two-factor authentication, and you can recover your password through the second backup email address if you have set it up. If you don't have a second backup email address, you should contact the support team as follows:

1. Log into your email
2. Click “compose”
3. Type to “help@postmates.com”
4. Type the subject “Help to recover hacked account”
5. Compose the email explaining that your Postmates account has been hacked and you'd like to recover it
6. Finally, click “send”
