If your group on Likee has been hacked, it's crucial to take immediate action to secure your group and address the situation. Here's a step-by-step guide on what to do:

### **1. Secure Your Account**

1. **Change Passwords**
   - **Change Your Password**: Immediately update your Likee account password. Use a strong, unique password that you haven't used elsewhere.
   - **Update Other Accounts**: If you use the same password for other accounts, change those passwords as well.

2. **Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**
   - **Set Up 2FA**: If Likee supports it, enable two-factor authentication for additional security. This adds an extra layer of protection to your account.

### **2. Assess the Situation**

1. **Check Group Activity**
   - **Review Recent Changes**: Look for any unauthorized changes in the group's settings, posts, or member list.
   - **Identify Compromised Elements**: Determine if there are any signs of malicious activity or altered content.

2. **Determine Impact**
   - **Evaluate Damage**: Assess what has been affected—posts, member lists, settings, or group reputation.

### **3. Report the Issue to Likee**

1. **Contact Likee Support**
   - **In-App Support**: Open the Likee app, go to your profile, and access settings. Select **Help & Feedback** or **Report a Problem**, and describe the hacking incident in detail.
   - **Official Website**: Visit Likee's official website, navigate to the support or contact section, and use the contact form to report the issue.
   - **Email Support**: If available, send an email to Likee's support team detailing the hacking incident and any relevant information.

2. **Provide Details**
   - **Document the Incident**: Include details such as the time of the hack, what was affected, and any evidence you have (e.g., screenshots).

### **4. Inform Group Members**

1. **Notify Members**
   - **Send a Message**: Inform group members about the situation, especially if their personal information or content might be compromised.
   - **Advise Caution**: Warn members to be cautious of any suspicious messages or links.

2. **Request Member Actions**
   - **Change Their Passwords**: Encourage members to change their passwords and enable 2FA if they haven't already.

### **5. Restore Group Settings**

1. **Revert Unauthorized Changes**
   - **Correct Settings**: Restore any group settings or content that was altered or removed during the hack.
   - **Secure Permissions**: Review and update member permissions to ensure no unauthorized users have administrative access.

2. **Audit Group Content**
   - **Review Posts**: Check for any inappropriate or malicious content that may have been posted by the hacker. Remove any such content immediately.

### **6. Monitor for Further Issues**

1. **Keep an Eye on Activity**
   - **Monitor Group**: Watch the group closely for any further unusual activity or signs of continued unauthorized access.

2. **Update Security Measures**
   - **Strengthen Security**: Implement additional security measures as needed to prevent future incidents.

### **7. Prevent Future Hacks**

1. **Educate Members**
   - **Security Awareness**: Educate group members about online security best practices, such as recognizing phishing attempts and using strong passwords.

2. **Regularly Update Security**
   - **Keep Passwords Updated**: Regularly update passwords and review security settings.
   - **Review Access**: Periodically review and update member roles and permissions.

### **Summary**

If your Likee group is hacked, act swiftly to secure your account by changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication. Report the incident to Likee support through the app or their official website, and inform group members to take necessary precautions. Restore group settings, monitor for further issues, and strengthen security to prevent future hacks. By following these steps, you can mitigate the impact of the hack and safeguard your group's integrity.
