How HackedID Works
Getting help after a hack, breach, or scam shouldn't feel complicated. Here's exactly how this site works.
1. Start with your situation
Use the "What's happening to you right now?" section on our homepage, or browse our full guides library, to find the plain-English explanation that matches what you're dealing with.
2. Try the free tools
Our free AI assessment gives you a general read on whether a data breach may be worth a legal review, and our triage checklist tells you what to prioritize first — both take about two minutes.
3. Ask the AI Cyber Recovery Guide
Our AI assistant can answer general questions about identity theft, hacked accounts, credit freezes, FTC reporting, and when legal action might make sense — available any time, with no obligation.
4. Get a free case review
If your situation looks like it may involve company negligence or real financial harm, request a free, no-obligation case review and a member of our staff can follow up about your case, including connecting you with an independent, licensed consumer-protection attorney if appropriate.
