Acting fast limits the damage. There is nothing to be ashamed of: the sooner support knows, the better.

  3. If you entered a password: Change it immediately from another, safe device.

  4. Inform support right away: +43 1 890 37 35 or support@it-tects.at. Outside support hours, use the emergency hotline +43 1 890 37 35 911.
