What Happens If My Account Gets Hacked?

🚨 First Things First: Stay Calm & Act Fast

Updated over 2 months ago

If you suspect that your Gig.tn account has been hacked, you need to act immediately to protect your funds, personal data, and gigs. A hacked account can be used to steal your money, scam others, or get your account permanently banned.

⚠️ Signs Your Account Might Be Compromised:

  • You can’t log in (password has been changed without your knowledge).

  • Orders are placed or canceled that you didn’t authorize.

  • Your payout details have been changed.

  • You’re receiving emails about login attempts from unknown locations.

  • Messages are sent from your account that you didn’t write.


🛑 Step 1: Secure Your Account Immediately

1️⃣ Try Resetting Your Password

If you still have access to your email:

  1. Go to the Gig.tn login page.

  2. Click "Forgot Password?"

  3. Enter your email and follow the reset instructions.

If you receive an error or don’t get the email, move to Step 2.

2️⃣ Check Your Email for Any Unauthorized Activity

📌 Gig.tn always sends an email if login details are changed. If you see:

  • A password reset email you didn’t request

  • Login attempts from an unfamiliar device or country

  • A payout change notification

🚨 Someone else may be inside your account.


📢 Step 2: Contact Gig.tn Support Immediately

If you can’t reset your password or suspect suspicious activity, contact Gig.tn Support ASAP:

  1. Go to the Help Center.

  2. Submit a ticket under "Account Security Issue."

  3. Provide details:

    • Your registered email

    • Last successful login date

    • Any suspicious activities you noticed

Gig.tn’s security team will investigate and restore your account if needed.


🛡️ Step 3: What Gig.tn Does to Protect Your Account

🔹 Freezes suspicious activity: If we detect unauthorized changes, we may temporarily lock the account for your protection.


🔹 Restores lost funds (if applicable): If a hacker stole your funds or misused your account, we investigate refund eligibility.


🔹 Recovers account access: Once you verify your identity, we restore your account.

If a hacker misuses your account (scamming, fraud, etc.), it could lead to permanent suspension. That’s why acting fast is critical.


📌 Step 4: How to Prevent Future Hacks

🚀 Follow these security best practices to keep your Gig.tn account safe:

Use a strong, unique password (don’t reuse passwords from other sites).
NEVER share your login details with anyone—even Gig.tn support won’t ask for it.
Avoid clicking on phishing emails pretending to be from Gig.tn.
Regularly check your payment details to ensure they haven’t been changed.
