When Identity Criminals Move In: Taking Back Your Account

Home Events When Identity Criminals Move In: Taking Back Your Account

When: August 18, 2026 10:00 am – August 18, 2026 11:00 am
Webinar | Event

Ever gotten that gut-punch notification: a login alert from a city you’ve never visited, a password reset you didn’t request, or worse, you’re suddenly locked out of your own email or bank account? Account takeover is one of the fastest-growing threats consumers face today, and it can happen to anyone, regardless of how tech-savvy they are. However, taking back your account is possible. 

Join Identity Theft Resource Center CEO Eva Velasquez and National Cybersecurity Alliance Executive Director Lisa Plaggemier for a conversation on account takeover: what it is, how it happens, and most importantly, what you can do about it. We’ll cover practical prevention strategies, the warning signs that your account may be compromised, and a clear action plan for recovery if the worst happens. Whether you’re worried about your email, social media, banking, or shopping accounts, you’ll leave this session with concrete steps to protect yourself and peace of mind knowing what to do if things go wrong.
