You usually don't know your email has been hacked until a friend lets  you know, by which point you've already emailed dozens of friends,  family members, and co-workers a link to a "really cool video" that they  "have to see now!"

It's embarrassing. It's awkward. You'll ask, "Why me?"

If  you're ever unlucky enough to be caught in this pickle, follow this  guide. The hope is that if you follow every step, you'll never have to  send another "Sorry everyone, my account was hacked" email again. Here's  how to deal with a hacked email account and make sure it never happens  again.
