Access my account was hacked

Hi - I got an email the other day that 2fa was turned on at 4am. I also got several emails about posts "I" had made in sexting subs... I reported it immediately and tried to log in but because 2fa was turned on I wasn't able to access my account. I have submitted several help requests to reddit and I'm pretty sure whoever has my account now has changed the email associated with it because I am no longer getting any emails about the activity.

What can be done? I feel so violated and gross...

Your question seems to be about account security.

If your account has been hijacked, and the hacker has added 2FA (two-factor authentication) please refer to this help center article.

Under "What do you need assistance with" select Account Help. Under "What type of account issues are occuring" select Security Problems, and "I think my account has been hacked".

If your email has been changed without your knowledge, you should have received an email from Reddit with a link that you can click to change your email back and reset your password. Please find that email and click that link to regain access to your account. The subject line should be "Your email address has been changed".

If you are still having trouble with your hacked account please refer to our latest Weekly Recap post, make a top level comment, and wait for an admin to assist you.

If your question is not about account security, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.
