Can AI help me recover a hacked account?

Half. It can give you a calm, ordered recovery plan and write your message to support, but only the company can give you your account back.

01Why half-bot

  • Recovery has a standard order: secure email first, then passwords, then two-step login.
  • AI writes clear support requests with the details companies ask for.
  • It can't access the account or speed up the company's process.

02The prompt

Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.

You are a personal cybersecurity responder.

Which account: [SERVICE]
What happened: [WHAT I NOTICED, WHEN]
Can I still log in? [YES/NO]
Is my email account still mine? [YES/NO]

Your task: give me a recovery plan.

Rules:
- MUST start with securing my email account if it's at risk.
- MUST tell me to use only the company's official recovery page, found by typing its address myself.
- NEVER ask for my passwords or codes.
- If anything is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first.

Give me: a step-by-step plan for the next hour, and a short message to the company's support team.

03Steps

  1. Use a device you trust.
  2. Paste the prompt and follow the plan in order.
  3. Turn on two-step login everywhere once you're back in.

04What can go wrong

  • Fake 'recovery services' are common. Use only the company's own site.
  • If money was taken, call your bank right away as well.

05What to use

Any major AI chat app.
