How To Recover Your Hacked Walmart Account

Walmart.com is one of the most convenient ways to shop at this popular superstore, but it's also a major target for cybercriminals. If they can gain access to your Walmart account, hackers are known for buying expensive products using the payment method on file and also stealing any personal data they can find.

Being in this situation is a huge headache for consumers, but there are some reliable ways to recover your hacked Walmart account. This article goes over tips on how to get your Walmart account back and how DoNotPay can help make the process much easier.

How Would You Know If Your Walmart Account Has Been Hacked?

There are several warning signs that your Walmart account is being targeted by cybercriminals, or that they've already managed to get inside, such as:

• Getting notified that someone tried to make changes to your Walmart.com security settings, like the password or email address linked to the account
• Receiving an email confirmation of a purchase you didn't make going to an unfamiliar shipping address
• Trying to log in and being told the password is incorrect, even if you're sure it's not

What To Do If Your Walmart Account Gets Hacked

If you notice any kind of suspicious activity on your Walmart account, you should act quickly to recover the account and protect your private information.

How To Recover Your Walmart Account If You're Able To Log In

1. From the home page, click on the Account icon in the upper right corner
2. Click on the Profile and Password option under the subheading for Manage Accounts
3. Click on Edit under Password and the system will prompt you to enter the current password in order to gain access
4. Type an extra-strong new password in the text field and click on save to update
5. Review your transactions and cancel any fraudulent purchases that were made by hackers
6. If it's too late to cancel them, contact your bank or credit card to dispute the charges

How To Recover Your Walmart Account If You Can't Log In

1. If cybercriminals have already changed the password on your Walmart account, you can try getting in by clicking the Forgot Password link
2. Walmart will prompt you to enter your email address so they can send a Verification Code
3. Check your email address, use the code to create an extra-strong new password, and then hit Submit
4. Review your transactions to cancel any fraudulent purchases or contact your bank or credit card to dispute charges that can't be canceled

What To Do If You're Still Locked Out Of Your Walmart Account

Cybercriminals will usually try to change the security credentials on the accounts they've hacked, and they often manage to succeed. Once hackers change the password on your account and then also change the associated email address, there's not much consumers can do to recover the account on their own.

The only recourse left is to contact Walmart to explain that you've been hacked and need help regaining access. Go to Walmart.com/help and click on the blue Contact Us icon to live chat with the store's customer service team.
