Compromised Account Recovery

Help for hacked email, phishing incidents, suspicious logins, infected devices, locked accounts, and documentation your provider may request.

When accounts get locked after suspicious activity, cleaning the device is often only part of the job.

We help secure your devices, recover access where possible, set up safer authentication, and document the work performed.

Clean. Secure. Document. Move forward.

We review the device, remove suspicious items where possible, and prepare it for reset.

Documentation for account reinstatement

Some providers or financial institutions may ask for proof that a device was inspected or cleaned before restoring account access. When appropriate, ProTek can provide a service letter describing the cleanup steps performed.

Important

We can help clean and secure your devices, document the work performed, and provide a letter your provider may request. Account reinstatement decisions are made by the financial institution, email provider, or account provider.
