Hi @ammarz1 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

I've had this happen in the past.

 

Set up a new email account (user name and password) using your preferred email provider. Now change all sensitive email contacts (financial, health, and governmental) to the new email address. Use different passwords on all sensitive accounts.

 

I now set up two email accounts; one for critical stuff and one for non essential stuff. Don't provide the sensitive email account address to any other entity on the Internet. 

 

Use the second email account if you have to provide an email address for non essential services. Bad actors will sell your email address to worse actors after gaining access to your email account address. 

 

Total security using the Internet does not exist. You will have to rinse and repeat if a sensitive email contact is compromised.

 

Regards
