I managed to recover my account and added more layers of security but saw that I had been added to a group overnight with numbers I don’t recognise. I can only assume I’ve been hacked but all my other accounts are safe for the moment. I’ve not clicked on any dodgy links recently. Is my account with 48 compromised?
